Open your screens as a family and delve into ancient trading practices and create your own cool coins during a collaborative family day presented by the OI Museum and Smart Museum of Art!
For this hands-on trade-stravaganza, OI educator Calgary Trautman-Haines and Smart Scholar Katerina Stefanescu will lead a virtual tour of the OI Museum and Smart Museum’s collections of coins and trading tools. Then, use your new knowledge to craft your own coins to trade within your own household.
Supplies: have a pencil, piece of paper, scissors, and aluminum foil at the ready.
Smart Scholars is an initiative of the Smart Museum of Art’s Feitler Center for Academic Inquiry made possible in part by generous funding from the Smart Family Foundation of New York. Additional support has been provided by the University of Chicago’s College Center for Research & Fellowships (CCRF).
