\n \u201cKALLOS. The Ultimate Beauty\u201d was a major, emblematic, archaeological exhibition, which was hosted at the Museum of Cycladic Art from September 29th, 2021, until January 16th, 2022.\n <\/div>\n \n \n<\/div>\n\n <\/div>\n

It presented the multiple aspects of the concept of kallos in everyday life and in the philosophical discourse of Ancient Greece, and took place with the generous support of L\u2019Or\u00e9al.<\/p>\n

This exhibition displayed three hundred emblematic antiquities from fifty-two museums, collections, and Ephorates of Antiquities throughout Greece, as well as from Italy and the Vatican. Many of these artifacts were appearing outside of their original museums for the first time. By meeting and mingling in the Museum of Cycladic Art, they presented us with a complete picture of what the ideal of kallos<\/em>, inadequately translated into English as Beauty, meant to people in antiquity.<\/p>\n

The selected exhibits dated mainly from the seventh to the first century BC \u2013 that is, from the Archaic to the Hellenistic period \u2013 and were complemented by a handful of works from Roman times, in those cases where the original creations of earlier periods have survived only in copies.<\/p>\n\n \n <\/div>\n\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n
