Gods Myths & Mortals Ltd Edition 1000-Piece Puzzle
In 2024, the Hellenic Museum, Melbourne and the Benaki Museum, Athens celebrated a major joint milestone: ten years of Gods, Myths & Mortals. To celebrate, the Hellenic Museum has released a limited edition 1000-piece puzzle featuring an artwork from the exhibition.
This artwork is an 18th century pilgrim token found in Jerusalem, which speaks to a story of intercultural connection. It was selected not only for its detail and variety, but as a symbol of the landmark international partnership between these two museums; the 8,000 year journey on which Gods, Myths & Mortals carried its visitors; and the odyssey we are all on together, as history continues to be written every day.
