Description:
SF State University Museum Studies Program invites you and your family to our new exhibition at the Museum of Ancient Civilizations! "The Lost Cities of North Africa" takes you on tour through ancient Algeria, Tunisia, Egypt and Morocco!
Dominated by a powerful Roman Empire since 146 BC, North Africa became the largest agricultural producer, as well as huge artisan center, especially famous for its exquisite oil lamps and beautiful mosaics. The exhibition features Roman pottery from Tunisia, and ceramic Roman lamps on loan from the California Academy of Sciences. Black-and-white photographs from the 1930s help visualize the area that had changed so much later in 20th century. Finally, the selected objects from our Sutro Egyptian Collection will be displayed, including the mummies!
