This exhibit explores what makes somebody a hero or heroine, what is expected of them and how they are portrayed. With more than 100 objects, it explores the inherent human need for heroes by using ancient Greek culture as a point of origin. Greek history and mythology are especially rich in various kinds of heroes, who were represented in the arts, but were also the object of worship. Statues, reliefs, vases, bronzes and jewelry are combined with literary quotes to illustrate the life cycle of heroes and heroines.
