Up Close Tour: Athena at the Athenaeum

Up Close Tours encourage visitors to look closely at materials from the Athenæum’s rich collections and consider them within a particular context.

Join Boston Athenæum Docent Clive Martin for a discussion of the Goddess of Wisdom’s presence in our library and her place in the ancient world,  focusing on the towering sculptures of Athena and Sophocles and the monumental head of Zeus that grace the Athenæum’s first floor.
