"The Benaki Museum's Alphabet book"

with Eleni Geroulanou
comes to meet friends of all ages
Saturday 19 October 2024 @ FOUGARO ARTCENTER

The Benaki Museum's Alphabet Book, jointly published by the Museum and EP Books,  presents the alphabet in a different way, based on the variety of exhibits at the Benaki Museum.

Each letter of the alphabet is illustrated with one of the Benaki Museum's treasures. With each letter, a short phrase motivates the children to ask questions and find out more!

In FOUGARO's Libraries and Workshops we shall make our own alphabet and set it in motion!
