Haunted Halloween

Join the Oriental Institute for crafts, tours, scavenger hunts, candy, and a ticketed lesson about the ancient Egyptian mummification process to celebrate Halloween.

Help make tomb offerings as a craft downstairs or take a break to get face paint. Join a 20-minute Halloween-themed museum tour. Grab a scavenger hunt to explore the galleries and earn a prize or go upstairs for a candy break.

Looking for a hands-on, engaging learning opportunity? Register in advance for a 30-minute interactive activity on ancient Egyptian mummification! Learn the science behind the process, help discover archaeological evidence, and understand why certain cultures practiced it. When completing your registration here on Eventbrite, be sure to select one of the time slots for the “Mummification Process” in addition to your "General Admission" ticket. (Registration is required for this activity.)

Return to the museum at 8:00 pm to join us for a screening of the cult-classic film, Hocus Pocus, starring Sarah Jessica Parker and Bette Midler! Registration is required for the film: https://www.eventbrite.com/preview?eid=393286048157
