UNDERCOVER EXCAVATION WORKSHOP

The History Museum of Mobile, in partnership with the Exploreum Science Center, will host an Undercover Excavation Workshop on Saturday, Feb. 28, at 10 a.m. to noon at the History Museum.

* The anatomy of historic ships
* Highlights from the Mediterranean region featured in "Sunken Treasures, Ancient Seas: Artifacts from the Deep"
* The careful process of excavation and preservation of a Roman warship, a cargo vessel, and items recovered from the sea floor

No RSVP or advance tickets required — this workshop is FREE with regular admission to the History Museum of Mobile. Guests are encouraged to explore the museum and the Sunken Treasures, Ancient Seas exhibition before or after the workshop to complete their deep-sea journey.
