The British Museum’s treasures of Ancient Greece are coming to the National Museum of Australia, the Western Australian Museum, and the Tāmaki Paenga Hira Auckland War Memorial Museum.
Featuring a range of 180 objects, the exhibition will be centred around the concept of competition and how it appeared in sports, politics, drama, music, and warfare. The exhibition, titled Ancient Greeks: Athletes, Warriors and Heroes, will open first in WA’s Boola Bardip Museum in June, before heading across to the National Museum of Australia (NMA) in Canberra from Dec. 17, then across the Tasman Sea to Auckland, New Zealand in 2022.
