Description
A museum activity trail which explores Ancient Greek and other museum artefacts and how the thinking behind these can be traced back to the Ancient Greeks and also continues to influence us today.
Session details
The Ancient Greeks were innovators, observers and thinkers, and we like to think that The Beaney House of Art and Knowledge represents that Ancient Greek thinking. It’s full of art and ideas, objects, stories, people, curiosity and knowledge.There’s a little bit of Ancient Greece in all of us and you can explore how the Greeks have continued to influence us throughout history through an activity trail that examines some of the Ancient Greek objects, ideas and discoveries, through the artefacts that form the collection on display at The Beaney. This trail can be a stand alone activity but we recommend that you use it in conjunction with an object handling session.
Suitable for KS2 – 5, Intermediate and Advanced ESOL students. Please specify when booking as different trails are available for different levels.
Costs
£1.50 per student or £1 if booked in conjunction with an object handling session.
Lunch Rooms
Please do enquire if you require a lunch space however a lunch space cannot be guaranteed.
