Acropolis Museum to dedicate October 28 bank holiday to kids, waive entrance ticket

The Acropolis Museum on Tuesday announced a special programme for children on the October 28 bank holiday, on which entrance to the museum will be free of charge throughout the day.

A special tour of the museum has been designed by the curators and archaeologists, centred around the role of nature, myth and the animal kingdom and the fascination these hold for young children.

Armed with colourful cards, the children will be sent on a "quest" to find the myths and creatures of antiquity among the museum's exhibits.
The programme will run from noon until 18:00, starting on the second floor of the museum on the balcony overlooking the Archaic Gallery.
