Create your own plaster sculptures and experience casts being brought to life
We’re opening the doors to the Royal Cast Collection, which is normally closed to the public. Throughout the evening, both children and adults can create imaginative creatures from sticky plaster and strands of flax in the creative workshop – or immerse themselves in the art of drawing in front of the sculptures.
Join museum curator Henrik Holm on a journey of discovery through the old warehouse and experience selected casts being brought to life as students from the Department of Classical Archaeology perform “ekphrasis” – the fine art of bringing a work of art to life through poetic and vivid spoken descriptions that encompass myths, stories, and connections to our own time.
