Monsters en mythische wezens
Until 3 January 2027 from 10:00 to 17:00
Exhibition
Honderd jaar geleden brak er grote paniek uit in het museum. Op een nacht kwamen plotseling stenen beelden van monsters en mythische wezens tot leven! De wezens zitten er nog steeds verborgen… Durf jij naar binnen te gaan?
Ontmoet monsters en mythische wezens
Gruwelijk of geweldig? Griezelig of grappig? In deze tentoonstelling sta je oog in oog met de tofste monsters en mythische wezens uit de oudheid. Een reuzenslang, mannen met een vissenlijf, een vrouw met slangen als haren en een gevleugeld paard: ze hebben allemaal hun eigen verhaal en bijzondere superkracht. Je ziet ze op de prachtige tekeningen van Alice Hoogstad, maar ook op eeuwenoude voorwerpen uit de oudheid.
Opdrachten en spellen
Je kunt het je vast wel voorstellen: na honderd jaar verborgen te hebben gezeten, zijn de mythische wezens een beetje verveeld en chagrijnig. Maak jij ze weer vrolijk? Los puzzels op, kraak raadsels en voer spannende opdrachten uit om de monsters en mythische wezens te helpen. Weeg je hart op de weegschaal van Ammit, kijk door het reuzenoog van de Cycloop en help Anzu om het geheime tablet te vinden .
Monsters en mythische wezens
In verhalen uit de oudheid (mythes) komen veel bijzondere wezens voor. Ze bewaken geheime plaatsen, bieden magische hulp of brengen de wereld juist in gevaar. De verhalen gaan vaak over de veel ‘saaiere’ helden, die slinkse manieren vinden om de mythische wezens om de tuin te leiden. Maar in deze expositie leer je juist de wezens zelf kennen: wie zijn ze, wat zijn hun krachten en waar worden ze blij van?
