In 2018 the Collection of Classical Antiquities of the Museum of Fine Arts started a cooperation with the Department of Animation at Budapest Metropolitan University. MA students were asked to create a series of animations based on artworks on display at the exhibition of Classical Antiquities, retelling Greek myths and bringing vase paintings to life. This page lists the animation films realised during the project under the mentorship of László Csáki artist and director and Klára Muhi screenwriter and dramaturg.
