Discover towering “ruins” of ancient Rome in the museum foyer where a series of free-standing columns stand as quiet reminders of a grand structure long lost to time.

Help reawaken these “ruins” by adding colourful, mosaic-inspired designs to their surfaces. Every tile, pattern, and splash of colour contributes to a vibrant, ever-changing artwork created by our community.

Perfect for all ages, this drop-in activity encourages creativity, imagination, and a little hands-on history. Discover the stories of ancient Rome and help transform the museum foyer into a living mosaic of the past, celebrating the launch of Rome: Empire, Power, People – one colourful tile at a time.
