Digital illustration of families exploring museums

Thursday 22 February 2024, 5-7pm

Travel back in time and help pull off the greatest heist in history! For one night only, join us with the lights down low and see our Cast Gallery in a new way, as you explore Mount Olympus.

Prometheus wants to steal fire from the gods, but he can’t do it alone - and he’s going to need your help. Will you dare to steal from the gods in their own home?

Sneak into Zeus’ palace, complete challenges and make your daring escape. Along the way you might meet some of the famous faces that live on Olympus but be careful! Not all of them want to help you…

 

No booking required, but we do expect queues.
