THE EXHIBITION<\/h2> <\/header>\n\n \n

\n \n
\n In 2016 the Museum of Cycladic Art celebrated 30 years of creative presence with the archaeological exhibition entitled Cycladic Society 5000 years ago, which attempted to \u2018read\u2019 in a simple and straightforward manner the social structure, activities, living environment, and, where possible, convictions and beliefs of the Cycladic islanders in the Early Bronze Age (3200-2000 BC) through their creations.

At the same time, there were presented photos of the renowned American photographer Robert McCabe, who captured with his lens parts of life in the societies of the same Cycladic islands 4500 years later; photos closely related to the ancient artefacts, as if in this Aegean island complex time stopped until the 1960s. The exhibition Memories and monuments of the Aegean included two sections with a different theme, linked by the Greek seas and the critical role they played in human societies in the Aegean over the centuries.<\/p>\n

The first section illustrated important aspects of life in the Aegean in the 1950s and 1960s. At that time, everyday life flowed without electricity, roads, motor vehicles, telephones, running water and ferries. The infrastructures that were available to people then, had little changed compared to 5000 years ago. The second section presented some archaeological sites by the sea. Most photographs were taken in 1954 and 1955, when these areas were little changed compared to the descriptions of travelers who visited Greece in the 19th century. Most of these sites have a long history, some as religious centers, others as commercial hubs and some for their strategic military importance.<\/p>\n\n \n <\/div>\n\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n
