Workshop for ages 8–13 presented by the Hellenic Museum.

Calling all young archaeologists! This week is National Archaeology Week, and this year we are celebrating the history of ancient Greek food. Learn about the key role played by food in the daily life of ancient Greeks, from the military training of Spartan children to currying favour from the gods!

Participants will learn all they need to know in order to live and eat like an ancient Greek through a tour of the exhibitions. Then, we’ll learn about ancient Greek hunting styles, and discover delicacies of the past. Finally, participants are welcome to bring a picnic lunch to have in the museum’s courtyard afterwards, and put some of their theory into practice

Recommended for ages 8–13. Registration includes Hellenic Museum general entry after the workshop.

When: 11AM–12:30pm Sunday 18 May 2025

Where: Hellenic Museum, 280 William Street, Melbourne, Victoria

Cost: Free, booking required
