In celebration of this day, the museum will have a pop-up exhibit on the history of archaeology in Egypt. Dr. Sarah Sterling will end the day with a presentation on her work and research on pyramids in Egypt.
International Archaeology Day is a worldwide event that has nearly two hundred historical societies, schools, and museum participating. The purpose of this event is to bring archaeology and history to communities throughout the world. This will be the Cannon Beach History Center & Museum’s third year participating. Dr. Sterling is an assistant professor at Portland State University. Sterling has overseen excavations around the world and spent many years at digs in Egypt.
