Designed to be accessible to everyone, including the youngest, this exhibition addresses key themes of childhood, such as birth, early childhood, school, education, games, clothing, work and children’s rights.
It offers contemporary insight into the way in which young years were perceived and experienced in theGreek and Roman antiquity. It familiarizes us with the values and teachings of this era and sheds light on contemporary reflections on the rights of children and their place in modern societies.
The Geneva Declaration on the Rights of the Child was adopted by the League of Nations on September 26, 1924. The centenary of this founding text is being celebrated throughout the year 2024 in order to highlight its essential role in promotion of children’s rights.
