For generations, the egg has been known as a symbol of creating and reawakening of the Earth in springtime. This exhibit looks at European Easter Egg traditions and how decorating eggs once served as symbols of new life and resurrection in the Middle Ages. This exhibition is open to the public from Saturday, March 2, through Sunday, May 5, 2024. Exhibition times may be pre-booked online with a suggested donation of $5.00 per person.
