May your wings never tire and your path be swift, until your safe return, Hermes!
Join us as we wish the Museum’s 2nd-century CE Roman sculpture, Lansdowne Hermes, a good journey, or Kalo Taxidi, as he prepares to travel to the Getty Villa, where he will be on view beginning this August. Celebrate with a reading of poems and incantations, enjoy music performed on modern replicas of ancient instruments, make your own winged helmet, and raise a glass of pomegranate juice to toast our luck-bringing messenger, trickster, bringer of dreams, and comrade of the feast.
Art Activities: 12 – 2 PM
Toast and Readings: 1 – 1:20 PM
