A Latin Scavenger Hunt at the Metropolitan Museum of Art
Saturday December 7, 11am-1pm
Description
High school and college students are invited to experience Latin as a living language while exploring the Metropolitan Museum of Art's Greco-Roman galleries at the Paideia Institute's Iter Musaicum. Students will compete in small teams to complete a Latin scavenger hunt while interacting with the Paideia Institute's Latin-speaking guides. Scavenger hunt winners will receive prizes inspired by the ancient world for their Latin classes.
