LOGAN —In the continuation of the new Saturday activity series, the USU Museum of Anthropology will celebrate the graduation of USU seniors on Saturday, December 15, by teaching guests about other rites of passage throughout the world.  

       USU students and members of the public are invited to drop in any time during the museum’s new 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday hours. Adults and children will be able to learn about practices, like graduation, that bring people into a different stage in their lives.  Interested visitors can also participate in a rite of passage of their own and get a small henna tattoo.

       “Henna is a temporary form of body modification and art,” said museum intern Amanda Woolston. “Henna has been used to adorn bodies as part of social and holiday celebrations since the late Bronze Age in the eastern Mediterranean.”

        The USU Museum of Anthropology is on the Utah State University 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. For more information on this event, call Lundberg at (435) 797-7545.
