Horsemen from the Parthenon


The children looked at the horses and riders on the Parthenon freize, then touched them on the touch-wall.

Angelica: 'We touched the man's foot and the horse's tummy.'
Lene: 'It felt hard to touch.'
Debowrah: 'They are going along fast. The riders are talking to each other. They're got no reins.'
Yonas: 'They've got no clothes on - it's not very comfy. He's wearing a coat though.'
