placed in Ancient Greek.
u This exhibit reminds me of some gods and goddesses from our Humanity
course book on pages 51-53.,.
u This exhibit relates to many movies, ancient history, and Greek books. For
instance, “The Odyssey”, “The Iliad”, “Percy Jackson: the lighting thief”,
and “Clash of the Titians.”
9. Evaluation
u The way the exhibit described the artifacts and all the facts about the
objects was an enormous success.
u The pieces from the exhibit are best compared to the “Legend of
Hercules.” Which was a splendid movie based on Ancient Greek
Mythology Gods.
u Criteria I would suggest would probably be doing some basic research or
reading the facts on these amazing pieces.
u These artifacts are ancient and some are found in the 1800s.
10. Conclusion
u I have never attended an online exhibit, however, I do remember visiting
an in-person museum when I was in second grade. I can not fully
remember the details, but I was astonished. I found this exhibit exciting
and fun to learn about. I am a gigantic Greek Mythology fan, and I find it
very interesting to learn and write about. I enjoyed how this exhibit had all
the artifacts laid out perfectly. All of the facts about each one were
exhilarating. I will be visiting a museum soon.
