Join us as we journey to the “Maya Crossroads: Classic Ideas and Goods in Motion Across the Verapaz.”

The dynamic trade and cultural expression in the Maya highlands during the Classic period is the focus of this year’s program which complements a new Penn Museum exhibition, Painted Metaphors: Pottery and Politics of the Ancient Maya, the opening of which will be a special highlight for this event.

As always, the weekend combines illustrated talks by more than a dozen world renowned scholars with engaging films, interactive hieroglyphic workshops for beginners and more advanced glyph readers-and an optional Maya banquet. $175; $140 members. Dinners, lunches extra. Call 215/898-4890 for more information.
