  • a chance to sculpt a classical body out of plasticine
  • an opportunity to socialise with friends in a unique and atmospheric environment
  • sign up to join MOCA Soc, Classics Soc and the Fitzwilliam Museum Society

 

This is event is co-hosted with MOCA Soc and the new Classics Society. There will be pre-event registration drinks in room R01 in the Classics Faculty at 6pm for those who would like to join the Classics Society.
