Strange creatures at the Acropolis Museum
What is truly the Hippalektryon? A rooster or a horse? And what about Centaur, Typhon, Triton and so many others? The Museum invites parents and children (up to 12 years old) to find the answers together.
Creatures of the earth, sea and air and creations of the imagination of ancient Greeks encourage guests to participate in a game of exploration, observation and knowledge.
Children will be given materials to take home and create their own strange creatures. They can also photograph their artworks and upload them on www.acropolismuseumkids.gr.
