Past Perspectives

Venture into the Hellenic Museum’s galleries these school holidays and you may find the ancient world stepping out to meet you.
Welcome to Past Perspectives, an immersive, all-ages tour where the past comes to life. Guided by costumed interpreters who step fully into character, these tours invite you on an everyday odyssey through the Rituals: Gifts for the Gods exhibition, as seen through ancient eyes.
Will your guide be a citizen navigating daily life in the polis? Or perhaps the Pythia of Delphi, emerging from the Temple of Apollo to share her prophetic wisdom? No matter who appears, each provide their own unique insights, shaped by their experience of the ancient Greek world. 
Part guided tour, part time-slip encounter, Past Perspectives combines theatrical storytelling with historic insights and hands-on interpretive objects to bring history to life. This tour has been designed for all ages to enjoy, inviting kids, families and adults alike to explore the ancient world together.
