The Museum of Indian Culture will open a new exhibit called “Mystery Unearthed: The Extraordinary Story of Two Lenape Rock Shelters” on Saturday, May 7, 2011, from 12:00 noon to 4:00 pm. The exhibit will feature a unique collection of over 200 stone and bone tools, pendants, decorated ceramics, and European trade goods excavated in 1942 from the Broomall Rock Shelter sites in Broomall, Pennsylvania. This assemblage was featured in a 1947 article in the prestigious archaeological journal American Antiquity, and includes two fully-reconstructed bowls and numerous archaic stone points that may date to over 3,000 years ago. Visit us to learn the incredible story of the site’s discovery, context, excavation, and the artifacts’ journey to the Museum.

Museum hours are Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays from 12-4 pm. Admission is $5 for adults, $4 for children 12-17 and seniors over 60, and free for children under 12.
