Step into the world of ancient Greek mythology and epic tales with this engaging workshop designed especially for children. Inspired by Christopher Nolan’s film adaptation of The Odyssey, kids will dive into the timeless stories of heroes, gods, and mythical creatures.
They will explore how epic cycles and myths from various cultures compare and evolve, making connections between ancient and modern storytelling. This hands-on experience includes examining real ancient Greek artifacts that bring these stories to life.
Children will also get creative by making their own versions of famous characters like Odysseus, Penelope, and the Cyclops, culminating in a fun group performance of a Greek play.
This drop-off workshop runs from 10:00 to 15:00 on Monday, 2026-07-20, at the Chau Chak Wing Museum. It is designed for school-aged children interested in mythology, art, and storytelling.
Throughout the day, participants will engage in art and archaeology activities, creating ancient Greek monsters and stories, and learning about the significance of gods like Athena, Zeus, and Poseidon.
Parents are invited to return at 14:30 to watch their children perform a short play based on the myths explored during the workshop.
