Event Details
Calling all young archaeologists! This week is National Archaeology Week, and this year we are celebrating the history of ancient Greek food. Learn about the key role played by food in the daily life of ancient Greeks, from the military training of Spartan children to currying favour from the gods!
Participants will learn all they need to know in order to live and eat like an ancient Greek through a tour of the exhibitions. Afterwards, you are welcome to bring a picnic lunch to have in the museum’s courtyard, and put ancient theory into practice!
Recommended for ages 8–13. Registration includes Hellenic Museum general entry after the workshop.
This event is part of a program to celebrate National Archaeology Week, co-presented by The University of Melbourne, Hellenic Museum and CO.AS.IT. Museo Italiano. Visit the program hub to explore other events.
