HELLENIC CHILDREN’S MUSEUM
14, Kydathinaion St, Plaka
210 331 2995-6 |
A kind of a short-term
educational program is made up by the activities
that take place every weekend at the exhibition
hall of the Children's Museum. These activities
help children to approach the museum and acquire
knowledge through the use of objects. Each
educational activity lasts 45 minutes and is
repeated many times all through the day.
For the school year of 2003-2004 different
educational activities have been scheduled. All
of them are thematically related with the
tribute that peaks with the "party" of each
month's last Sunday. Apart from discovering
knowledge and entertainment, the tributes aim at
familiarizing children with the museum and
helping them approach museums in an alternative
way. |
