A Latin Scavenger Hunt at the National Gallery of Art
Sunday February 28, 11:30am-1:30pm
The Paideia Institute and the Center for Hellenic Studies invite high school and college students to experience Latin as a living language in Washington DC while exploring the National Gallery of Art's Power & Pathos Exhibit of Hellenistic bronzes. Participants will compete in small inter-institutional teams to complete a Latin scavenger hunt in the gallery. Paideia staff members will be stationed throughout the exhibit to introduce participants to specific works of art and engage participants in Latin conversation. The winning team will receive prizes to be announced on the day!
No prior training in Latin is necessary and students at all levels of Latin are welcome. Latin teachers and professors are encouraged to attend with their students to experience the event and learn about active Latin pedagogy.
Students and their teachers are welcome to join the Paideia staff for lunch in one of the museum cafes after the event.
