What was it like to live in Greece more than 2,000 years ago? The ancient Greeks went about their lives in ways we might recognize as familiar, even ordinary. They had families, built houses, and worked as farmers, surgeons, weavers, and craftsmen. Some achieved fame in athletic contests and others were commemorated as war heroes. Join Laure Marest-Caffey, assistant curator of Greek and Roman art, to explore the new gallery on daily life in ancient Greece.
