Aule: Ancient Toys and Crafts
Aule explores the domestic world of ancient Athens through play, craft, and everyday life. Set within a reimagined household, it follows the experiences of childhood and growing up, revealing how learning, creativity, and social roles were shaped from an early age.
Move through a series of curated domestic spaces where daily life unfolds through activity and interaction. Discover how toys and objects were made, from spinning wool to shaping simple forms by hand. Try these processes yourself, creating and handling materials as part of the experience. Take part in hands-on activities, from traditional games to practical skills, and explore how children learned through making and play.
The experience extends into a shared garden, where children can play freely and explore games inspired by those played in ancient Athens. Connecting Aule and Kapeleion, this outdoor space offers a more open and relaxed setting, reflecting the role of courtyards in everyday life.
