Explore the high seas with a day of artistic adventure! Take to the waves with the Trading Game, which ferries you from port to port across Greece, Egypt, and Colchis to deal in precious gold, fine spices, and rich olive oil. Go on an Art Odyssey tour and explore artworks from the many lands visited by the legendary heroes Jason and the Argonauts.

After your trading adventure, you're invited to explore other objects in the Museum that bring to life the trade in goods and services across the ancient seas.

How to Participate
Visit the Trading Game stations in the Outer Peristyle anytime between 11:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m. Artist-educators will welcome you with a hands-on learning experience, including art-making activities.

To join an Art Odyssey tour, sign up at the Tour Meeting Place outside the Museum Store beginning at 1:45 p.m.

The program is geared for families with children ages 5 and up, but anyone can participate.
