Learn what these historic photographs and artefacts tell us about the truth of the palace of Knossos and the mythical tale of the Minotaur.as told in our current Labyrinth exhibition.

Working with artist and photographer John Blythe, you’ll experiment with a range of individual and collaborative photographic processes to create new work inspired by myths and realities.
