Why Greek vases still matter
Vases are essential anchors of classical antiquities shows—so revered that one inspired an ode 200 years ago. Expect answers to what makes them compelling, how they were crafted, and how they were used. These objects reveal the everyday life, habits, and festivals of the ancient Greeks and Romans, turning decoration into social history.
Hands-on tour, then creation
The gallery walk includes tactile objects for a richer experience, followed by a wind-down workshop where participants create together. Capacity is capped at 12 people. Duration: 2 hours. Price: $5.40 per person, admission included. Date: November 12, 2025. City: Budapest.
