Special Exhibition “Mehr als nur Sport: GymnAsia in der Antike” (More than just Sports: GymnAsia in Ancient Times)

The "gymnasion" was one of the central institutions in an ancient city. It was a place of athletic training, military education and intellectual upbringing, all at the same time. It was here that the future citizens of cities were shaped and introduced to their rights and duties. Hourly: short, guided tours of the special exhibition.

9 pm: plaster-casting demonstration
Midnight: Gloves for all so that you can touch your way around the plaster casts!

More than just Sports: GymnAsia in Ancient Times

School in a museum? Sounds boring, but it's not: Explore grammar schools in antiquity together with Lisa and Linos! Who was allowed to be there? Why did they do so much sports? How did they learn to write? Immerse yourself in antiquity by painting, doing puzzles, jumping, running and much more. And what's more: if you want, you can cast your own plaster between 2 and 4 pm!
