June is Movie Month at museum

Movie month continues June 21 in the Saturday activity series at Utah State University’s Museum of Anthropology with the showing of the 1932 Boris Karloff movie “The Mummy” as well as the more recent version with Brendan Fraiser.

USU students and members of the public are invited to the museum any time during the 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday hours. Guests may choose to view the movies that begin at 10:30 a.m. or view the Egyptian burial and mummification exhibit to learn more about how the Egyptians cared for their dead.

“The ancient Egyptians are one of the most intriguing cultures in the world,” said museum coordinator Ashley Smith. “With movie magic, we get to peer into and experience some of their world for ourselves.”

The USU Museum of Anthropology is on the USU campus in the south turret of the historic Old Main building, room 252. Free parking is available in the adjacent lot, south of the building.
