Myths and Monsters

Myths and Monsters

Which creatures really existed and which are the product of man's imagination? Where do the limits between reality and fantasy lie? What urges the human mind to create these shapes? The exhibition "Myths and Monsters" attempts to answer these questions. The exhibition comes, for the first time in Greece, from the Natural History Museum of London to Hellenic Cosmos. In an area of 600m2 impressive animatronics in natural size, models, showcases with fossils, graphics and photographs bring to life some of the most known ancient myths. An exciting journey to myth and history for both children and adults.
