In the Shadow of Olympus: a Museum Late
About
An after-hours museum event about the Greek gods and symbols incorporated into the Bank of England’s architecture, with immersive displays, crafts and interactive activities.
Visitors explore mythological figures that have watched over the Bank for more than three centuries and learn how classical stories became part of the building’s symbolism. The evening includes immersive displays, craft and interactive activities. It runs from 17:15 to 20:00, with last entry at 19:30. The separately booked concurrent talk is a distinct event; a late ticket alone does not admit to it. Free entry; booking is required, with capacity-dependent walk-ins potentially available.
