October At The Maria Callas Museum

This October, the Maria Callas Museum of the City of Athens welcomes visitors of every age with a vibrant programme of activities:

  - A music-and-dance performance for children
  - An open conversation on mental health in the digital era
  - Themed and interactive guided tours that bring Maria Callas’ legacy to life
  - Family programmes (MCM Kids & MCM Babies) that turn Sundays into pure imagination and play!

 

The creative team 2 Laloun brings their playful performance “Sound Spins Around” to the museum!

Children will discover how musical instruments came to be, and then get to play with them! Through games, movement and storytelling, little ones become the heroes of their own musical adventure.
