All Abilities: Ancient Egyptian Scarabs

Join the Utah Museum of Fine Arts at the West Jordan Library for a free art-making workshop for all ages and abilities.

The beetle, or scarab, was the most popular magical amulet worn by ancient Egyptians as a charm of protection. Mummies were often buried with large scarabs placed on their chests to protect their hearts while journeying to the afterlife. Sculpt your own version of these ancient amulets with inspiration from the scarabs in the UMFA collection.

This free event takes place at:
West Jordan Branch of the Salt Lake County Library
8030 S 1825 W,
West Jordan, UT 84088.
