KINGSTON MUSEUM - SUMMER EXHIBITION
Ancient Wisdom
Find out what the ancients did for us. Shoot down a castle wall with a Roman catapult and see how the Egyptians locked their doors. Build an aqueduct to guide water to a village and try the Greek way of using the Sun to burn the enemy's ships. There is art and music as well and you can even write your name in hieroglyphics.
Ancient Writing
Write your name in hieroglyphics and use a clay tablet to translate a message in cuneiform.
Aqueduct
Place channels and pillars to build an aqueduct to channel water from a spring to a village.
Archimedes Screw
Turn a handle to watch balls travel up the screw – originally invented by Archimedes to lift water.
Catapult
Build a castle wall and fire balls with a catapult machine to knock it down.
Gears
Assemble cogs on a magnetic table to turn the grinding stone.
Locks
Try opening an Egyptian and a Roman lock and see how they work.
Make a Mosaic

Roman Arch

Signals
Communicate with your friend using flags, how the Romans used to do.
