In addition, as part of this year's International Museum Day theme "Museums, Education and Research", families with children aged 6-12 will have the opportunity to take part in an adventure within its exhibition spaces entitled "A mystery... asks for its solution." The young friends of the Museum take on the role of detectives and with the help of their guardians and the Museum's archaeologists seek the solution of an imaginary mystery that will save the celebration of the Panathenaic Festival. Learning is woven through play, the Panathenaea and the myth of the Gigantomachy come alive by unfolding all their dimensions and symbolisms as the Museum becomes a place of entertainment.
