What did the ancient Greeks and Romans not give us? Their fingerprints
can be found globally, including the Olympic games, democracy and
architecture to name a few.

Martha Kelleher, assistant curator of European art at the Art Gallery of Ontario (AGO), will take participants on a journey through the pages of history during her lecture on Oct. 5 at 7:30 p.m. at the McMaster Museum of Art.

Participants will learn more about the context and influence of these
two great civilizations when Kelleher talks about Antiquity Revisited:The 19th Century. The historical pieces in this exhibition at the Museum are drawn from the holdings of the AGO, and feature works by 19th-century artists who were inspired by the ancient Greeks and Romans.

The display runs until Oct. 22.
