Children and their grown-ups can get creative in the workshop at Glyptoteket, where the museum's Romans are dressed up for the day. The activity draws on the special exhibition Power and Fashion in the Roman Empire, where the Romans appear in colourful clothing and plenty of accessories.
Working with photos of the sculptures and sheets of translucent paper, participants trace measurements for their own garments or accessories. Togas, jewellery, hats, sunglasses, and even new feet or heads are all welcome. Once the designs are cut out, they are placed on the paper sculptures. Everything is gathered into a display on large magnetic boards, where designs can hang as inspiration for others or be taken home for the fridge.
