We're thrilled to once again be a participant site for National Hellenic Museum for Open House Chicago this weekend, October 17 and 18, from 10 am to 4 pm on both days. And the best part? Admission is FREE!
Join us as we showcase our contemporary masterpiece of a building. Inspired by classical Greek and Byzantine influences, our building is a true marvel that you won't want to miss.
Visitors are invited to explore the entire Museum and each of its galleries, including the rooftop (weather permitting) at their own leisure. Guided tours will also be available at the top of every hour.
Additionally, we offer a special guest experience in our classroom studio where children and adults can participate in hands-on activities that connect ancient Greek culture to the present time. Activities include:
-Into the Modern: Using architectural forms found in Ancient Greek structures, as well as modern forms, visitors can create their own unique city skyline.
-Paint Like an Ancient Potter: Learn about traditional Greek motifs in Ancient Greek pottery, such as meanders, waves, and the symbolism of wheat and olive branches. Try your own hand at classical design using paint pens to decorate small clay pots.
