Museum Sponsors Trip to Sepphoris Exhibit

Kenneth Hoglund, associate professor of religion at Wake Forest, will lead the trip. Hoglund is the co-director of the Sepphoris project and the exhibit’s co-curator.

Sepphoris, located two miles from Nazareth, was the political and economic capital of Galilee for most of the Roman period and the site of a prominent academy for rabbis in earlier times.

The bus will depart for Raleigh from the anthropology museum at 8 a.m. and return by 5 p.m. The afternoon will be spent at the North Carolina Museum of History. Lunch is available at the North Carolina Museum of Art CafÈ. The cost of the trip is $25; $22.50 for Museum Friends. Spaces must be reserved by April 7.
