The Museum was very pleased to have Ian Jenkins, Senior Curator of
Greek and Roman Antiquities at the British Museum, as a visitor and
lecturer this fall. Dr. Jenkins came to us as the 2005 speaker for the
Dr. Allan C. Campbell Family Distinguished Speaker Series. His lecture
for the series was "Return to Cnidus: Digging in Southwest Turkey," a
slide show that detailed the important excavations being done to
uncover this ancient city. In addition to his lecture, Dr. Jenkins
also spoke to a seminar class in the UI Classics Department on the
daily life of Athenian women. Members of the Museum's education
section and volunteer docent staff attended the lecture and took
copious notes that will soon be incorporated into Museum tours and
programs.
