Uncover the mysteries of ancient spells and prophecy at the Museum of Classical Archaeology
There’s magic in the air this summer!
The ancient world was filled with mystical secrets, prophesies and curses. Discover these secrets for yourself over a magical afternoon at the Museum of Classical Archaeology. Just drop in and craft spells, create your own curse tablet and even try your hand at ancient fortune-telling.
Will you uncover lost spells from the past or learn the secret to seeing the future? (But be warned, not all prophesies have happy endings…)
This event is part of Summer at the Museums.
Just drop in, no need to book.

Unfortunately, our lift is currently our of order which means we are unable to provide step-free access at this time. We hope to be able to restore lift access in mid-August.
This event is primarily seated. The family trail involves standing, but we can move chairs around the gallery.
