This program is scheduled in conjunction with the ticketed exhibition Poseidon and the Sea. All program participants are asked to check-in at the Admissions Desk to obtain a ticket before entering the special exhibition. Joslyn Members, Nebrakska Medical Center Health and Wellness Members, and college students receive free tickets. Program cost for general public adults is $10.

The realms of Poseidon encompassed virtually every aspect of life in the ancient Mediterranean world, from mythology and religious cult to daily activities. This exhibition explores each of these three domains, beginning with an impressive marble statue of the god. This remarkable Roman statue from the first century AD sets the stage for more than 100 additional works of Greek, Etruscan, and Roman art produced over more than a millennium, including stunning examples of black-figure and red-figure pottery; sculpture in terracotta, marble, and precious metal; and extraordinary examples of ancient glass, mosaics, carved gems, and coins.
Organized by the Tampa Museum of Art
Presented in partnership with The Nebraska Medical Center's Health & Wellness Club, Art Encounters is free to all, except during special ticketed exhibitions. Reservations are not required.
