Explore Ancient Greece with artwork, crafts and books, inspired by the statue of Nike.
Taking inspiration from the statue of Nike in the Royal Arsenal, the exhibition brings together artwork from students in the Greek town of Volos, pottery from Pound Park Nursery and displays from Fossdene Primary School.
Co-ordinated by the artist Evi Robert, originally from Volos and now a Royal Borough resident, the exhibition also includes Romano-British religious artefacts from the Heritage Centre's collection that highlight the influence of Greek religion in the ancient world.
The statue of Nike was given to London by the city of Olympia, Greece, in September 2012 in honour of the 2012 London Olympic and Paralympic Games.
The Heritage Centre is open Tuesday to Saturday, closed Sunday and Monday.
