Myth in Greek art vase painting at the British Museum

Description

Guided tour of some of the delights in the British Museum’s collection

Please meet your tutor, Cathy Mercer, 5.45pm in Gallery 12 for a prompt 6pm start.

Greek art developed with great speed and produced rapidly changing images during the 6th and 5th centuries. Myth was a common theme and this visit will start to explore the range and complexities using the British Museum’s rich collection, focusing in particular at Greek vases. This visit will also stimulate ideas for the A350 EMA.

Entrance to the British Museum galleries visited during this tour are free to everyone – so why not make a day of it!

This tour will be of general interest to anyone with a love of art, artefacts and the ancient world but it will be especially helpful if you are studying A350 ‘Greek and Roman myth: stories and histories’ at the Open University.
