About this Event

Join us in person at the National Hellenic Museum on Saturday, August 16, 2025 from 11:00 AM – 12:30 PM to learn about the constellations connected to Greek mythological stories and map your own constellation to take home.

This event takes place during "Leo Season," when the Sun moves through the part of the sky that contains the constellation Leo—The Lion. We'll explore the astronomy and mythology associated with Leo, then create our own constellations on canvas to take home and enjoy.

All ages are welcome, but children under 14 years old must have a parent/guardian present. Admission is free, with the suggested donation of museum entry.

Discounted parking is available at the Arkadia Tower parking garage with code NHM, or convenient parking is available via Spot Hero for your NHM visit.
