Getting to know the Museum’s vases

The answers to such questions shall be delivered during the Museum of Cycladic Art program “Getting to know the Museum’s vases”. Clay vases come to life and narrate stories about their making and decoration with mythical scenes and scenes from everyday life.

The vases come in different shapes according to their use. Large amphorae were used to store commodities, urns to transport water back home, oenochoe to serve wine in kylix and cups.

Upon attending a screening, children are invited to visit the museum’s Ancient Greek Art exhibition. Vases’ different shapes and representations offer students the opportunity to learn about the life of the ancients and their habits. During the visit, children use documents containing various activities that will enable them to discover selected exhibits in a collaborative, interactive way.
