The Greeks - Myths, Legends and Heroes

 

 

 

Enter the world of The Greeks as you step into our reconstructed Greek Temple.

 

The exhibition includes a series of displays celebrating; Men and Women, trade, warfare and literacy. The Age of Greek Heroes is not forgotten with a case of artefacts dating back to the Greek stone age. Many items on display are made of pottery. The unsurpassed abilities of the Greek potters are celebrated in another show case.

 

What sets this exhibition apart from other museum displays is the creative and imaginative way in which the team at Dudley Museum has chosen to display the artefacts.   The whole gallery has been decked out with pediments and columns to give the impression that you are really in Greece.

 

 

 

 

Although the exhibition harks back to Ancient Greece the information is displayed using computer screens.

 

There are also interactive exhibits such as a magnifying camera to examine coins, a chance to practise writing in Greek and the opportunity to try on a Greek set of armour or lift a Greek sword.

A charge of £2.75 per pupil, with a minimum charge of £50.00, is made for School Visits.

We recommend allowing a full day for your visit.

 

Pupils can handle real artefacts, try on clothes and participate in a dramatic reconstruction of two famous Greek Myths.
