USU museum takes a look at love and marriage

LOGAN — June is a popular month for weddings, and all of the festivities that go along with them.

Utah State University’s Museum of Anthropology explores the traditions and rituals of marriage and courtship at the next “Saturdays at the Museum” program, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. June 9.

Activities and presentations look at both modern and ancient traditions and the meaning behind them. Museum visitors will learn about the symbolism of dresses, colors and flowers used at weddings, as well as the reason for engagement rings.

The 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 historic Old Main Building, on campus at 500 N. 700 East.

Admission is free.
