You know that moment in the pub quiz when someone asks who the Mycenaeans were, and everyone looks down at their pint? Well, brace yourself: World Museum is offering the kind of history lesson that gives you actual answers. No bluffing required.
What’s It About?
This Short Course: Introduction to Ancient Greek History lifts the curtain on the Minoan and Mycenaean Ages. These are two civilisations that didn’t just invent labyrinths and legends – they set the scene for Western Europe’s first complex societies. Expect tales of palaces, sea journeys, a bit of archaeological drama, and hints about how some of the world’s most famous myths got started.
Led by the museum’s own experts (proper knowledgeable, by the way), it’s a chance for grown-ups, students, or anyone quietly obsessed with ancient stories to explore what life was really like long before the Parthenon had a postcode.
