What do you collect? Along with objects from the natural and cultural world, the Burke Museum collects experts. Join us for Artifact ID Day, the one day a year where all of our experts are in one place to help you delve more into the objects that matter to you. Past Artifact ID Days have uncovered such rare items as a 5,000-year-old stone tool, a twined basketry doll made by a Tlingit weaver, and a drinking cup made from a walrus’ tusk. What do you have? We can work with you on baskets, blankets, and other cultural objects from Native American cultures, the Pacific Islands, and Asia, as well as archaeological artifacts, bones, fossils, and rocks. No appraisals will be given. The Burke Museum does not authenticate items for sale. Please bring in a limit of three items per visitor due to the event's popularity. Ages: 4 to 15 free with admission
