Nov 21, 2019 – Mar 8, 2020
Great Russell St, Bloomsbury, London WC1B 3DG, UK

A tragic love story packed with action! It’s no surprise that iterations of the legend of Troy have been passed along generations for over 3,000 years. But what of the story is myth and what is reality? This very question has brought historians and archaeologists together on an expedition to the lost city. In an unprecedented display, relics, art, and fragments from Troy shed light on one of mankind’s oldest tales. —E.C.
