Buried Alive: Michelangelo's Secret

Teaches: history, Rome

CTR Review

Did you know that while in hiding, Michelangelo covered the walls of his cramped quarters with sketches? Did you know they would go undiscovered for 446 years? Time Traveler Tours are story-driven treasure hunts for historic places; in this case Renaissance Florence. Content includes 22 Treasure Hunts, 7 Challenges, and 8 History Hacks. You can listen and/or read along as Michelangelo takes you to Florence; learn about the iconic sculpture of David. There are also treasure hunts, challenges, and other immersive activities. While the topics are good and there are interesting facts to be found, the BDRA jurors were less than impressed by the design.
