LOGAN — Exhibit tours at Utah State University’s Museum of Anthropology are going multilingual.

USU students have recorded audio guides to several permanent exhibits, such as “Dine: Weaving a Tradition of Strength,” “Obsidian” and “Ice-Age Peopling of the Americas.” The guides, funded by a grant from the Utah Humanities Council, are in several languages, including English, Spanish and Navajo.

The new guides will be unveiled during the next “Saturdays at the Museum” event, on Saturday, April 21.

Tours will be offered every half-hour, from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m., in Spanish and English.

A hands-on activity, related to the exhibit “Dine: Weaving a Tradition of Strength,” invites guests to try their hand at using a loom.

The USU Museum of Anthropology is open 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. weekdays, and 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturdays, in Room 252 of the Old Main building, 500 N. 700 East. Admission is free.
