 To celebrate the
opening of the Carlos Museum’s new
Ancient Greek galleries, the Museum and Emory’s Department
of Physics invite you to a special evening of gallery and galaxy
hopping.
You can begin at either the Carlos Museum, any time between 5:30
to 9:00PM. Or, you can start your evening with a Greek Skies planetarium
show at the Emory Planetarium.
Planetarium shows last half an hour; you can attend at 6:30,
7:30 or 8:30 PM. Seating is limited.
 In the Planetarium, Dr. Rick Williamon will tell the timeless
stories of Greek gods and heroes as they unfold in the night sky.
In the Museum, you’ll be able to see some of these same myths
and tales depicted in ancient works of art.
Refreshments fit for a god or goddess will be on sale by the Astronomy
Club (to benefit future programs).
On the Quad, you’ll find guides in ancient Greek costumes to
ferry you back and forth between the Museum and the Planetarium.
We hope you, your family and your friends will be able to join us
for this evening of myths and merriment.
