\n The new permanent Exhibition of Ancient Greek Art \u2013 on the second floor of the Museum \u2013 was opened to the public in 2009 and replaced the archaeological presentation that was organized in 1986, when the Museum first opened its doors. \n <\/div>\n \n \n<\/div>\n\n <\/div>\n
\n
\n

The new Exhibition, entitled A History with Images<\/em>, chronologically displays about 400 objects of ancient Greek art \u2013 which date from the 2nd millennium BC to the 4th century AD. The Exhibition\u2019s narrative, however, is based on the image.<\/p>\n

During this period of roughly 1600 years, many important socio-political developments took place, including the birth of the ancient Greek city, the emergence of democracy, and the creation of the first Mediterranean empires.<\/p>\n

Each of these developments left its imprint on the art of the period, producing images that reflect the different social values and patterns of the time.<\/p>\n\n \n <\/div>\n\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n

The ancient Greek city is often called the “city of images”, as few ancient civilizations depicted their gods and heroes, myths, daily life, and death in such extensive detail. Visual art not only decorated public buildings and luxury objects but also objects of everyday and personal use.<\/p>\n

The thematically organized displays of this Exhibition offer a creative approach to the societies of mainland Greece and the Aegean in prehistoric and historical times. The timeless journey focuses on the stylistic transformations of Greek art and explores the changing role of images throughout Greek antiquity.<\/p>\n

The Exhibition includes clay vases, stone objects, clay figurines, marble sculptures and reliefs, bronze and glass vessels, gold jewelry, and a representative selection of seals and coins.<\/p>\n\n \n <\/div>\n\n <\/div>\n
