Magic was feared, woven into daily life, and powerful enough to shape destiny. Experience opening day with a curator-led tour of Cursed! The Power of Magic in the Ancient World, as Dr. Jeffrey Spier guides visitors through love charms, curse tablets, and protective objects dating from 2000 BCE to 300 CE across the ancient Mediterranean and Near East.
