Autumn holidays at the Glyptotek - Dress up the Romans

Come and unleash your creativity during the autumn holidays at Glyptoteket, where you can dress up the Romans in our workshop.

The Romans wore colorful clothes and with lots of accessories, as you can see in the special exhibition Power and Fashion in the Roman Empire. In the workshop we open the door to the past with our imagination and we experiment with the dress and appearance of the Romans.

We work with photos of the sculptures, transparent paper and colors. Through the paper, you can take measurements for your clothes or accessories. You can work scientifically and try to draw things as they looked back then, or just come up with them yourself. Togas, as well as jewelry, hats, sunglasses, new feet, new heads, etc. are welcome. After that, you cut out the dress and put it on the paper sculptures.

The whole thing is put together in an exhibition on large magnetic boards, and you can leave your designs hanging for inspiration for others or take them home to the fridge.

Period: Autumn holidays Saturday, October 10 to Sunday, October 18. During the autumn holidays, the Glyptotek is also open on Monday, October 12.
