Outrageous Olympians


Saturday 20 September - Sunday 5 October, 2025

Time

11.00AM – 4.00PM

Venue: UC Teece Museum

Hermes is up to his old tricks again and has caused mischief for the other Olympians by mixing up their magical tools! Help the Olympians to return the tools to their rightful owners before Zeus unleashes his wrath.

Find each of the mini-figures hidden around the Teece Museum, complete the activity sheet, and fill in your details to go into the draw to win an awesome prize pack. Hand the activity sheet in to one of the Teece Museum gallery hosts when completed.

Adults: UC's Teece Museum of Classical Antiquity is a little-known gem; a world-class collection of items from Ancient Greece and Rome right here in Christchurch! It's family-friendly and accessible. Simply walk up the stairs and through the main doors of the UC Building from the South Quad. For wheelchair access, ring the bell at the Hereford St entrance.

This event is part of the September School Holiday Fun happening at The Arts Centre September 20 - October 5 2025
