So this weekend I suggest taking a journey back in time to the world of Ancient Greece to marvel and admire the stunning Greek sculptures at the British Museum.
Defining Beauty: The Body in Ancient Greek Art explores how the Greek's experimented with different techniques and mediums to create the masterpieces that we have the pleasure of seeing today. You'll see how art and the human body evolved from figurines and decorated vases, to the majestic and realistic statues of heroes and gods which we commonly associate with Greek art.
Once you've toured the exhibition, make sure you stop by to see the Elgin
Marbles. No visit to the British Museum is complete until you've paid a
visit to see these amazing sculptures from the Parthenon.
