On the occasion of the Greek National Holiday of Friday 28 October 2016, the Acropolis Museum invites families with kids from 8 to 12 years old to discover the Parthenon Gallery with the aid of the new backpack “The Parthenon Sculptures”. Through the specially designed printed material and games, kids can enjoy their visit and learn about the exhibits in a creative way, while discussing with their parents. The backpack is available in Greek and in English. Families can borrow backpacks from the Museum’s Information Desk by leaving an identification card.
