At the Museum is a children’s picture book written and illustrated by George Neeb. This story is about a young boy named Ryan who would rather play video games than go on a trip to the museum with his dad. Feeling bored and grumbling when they went to the museum, he was not interested in traveling back to ancient Greece and learning about Pegasus, Medusa, the Trojan horse, Zeus, Heracles, and the antique vases decorated with drawings. That is until he comes across an ancient vase with illustrations of Greek warriors engaged in epic battles. Noticing that something is moving on the vase, he leans closer to look. What happens next is an adventure into ancient Greece that will completely change his opinion about museums and ancient Greek history.
