Can a work of art speak to us about an artist, a whole period, and the way in which we research the ancient world, as well as about contemporary ideas? Using one of the Museum’s most important exhibits – the marble adolescent attributed to the sculptor Kritios – as a starting point, visitors can study this uniquely shaped marble, and discuss the artist, his period, changes in art, and ancient and modern aesthetics.
