Implementation of a traveling exhibition for children and families exploring the art, mythology, and architecture of ancient Greece.

The exhibition, Gods, Myths and Mortals: Discover Ancient Greece, will introduce children and their families to the great epics, art, and architecture of ancient Greece and legacy of creativity, wisdom, and insight into the human condition that has shaped western civilization for 2,500 years. It will challenge them to reconstruct the ancient past, and encourage them to find traces of Hellenic culture in their own lives and the world around them.
