Join our afternoon ancient dog-themed extravaganza!

What happens when you mix dogs and the ancient world? You unleash a tail-wagging day of fun at the Museum of Classical Archaeology, of course.

Get creative and explore our summer exhibition, Cultured Canines: Evolution, Emotion, Imitation, which blends ancient Greek pottery with canine charm. Find out more about how your favourite four-legged friends got on in the past, follow our trail and try your hand at a range of dog-themed crafts.

This event is free and drop in only, n need to book. Find out more about Summer at the Museums.
