In this workshop, students will work together to find Ancient Greek objects in our Ancient Worlds gallery and deliver their own tour based on their favourite object. When they return to the education space, they will take part in three different activities: becoming a museum curator and learning how to hold and take care of real Greek objects, designing their own vase and playing a game of guess the mystery object.
