Stamps: Cultural messengers on an envelope

Our ancient heritage and history is traveling the world on a series of postage stamps titled «Greek Museums,» released on April 7. Our museums are a major attraction for both Greek and foreigners all year round. Every visit is a unique journey into the past, into knowledge and tradition. The first selection depicts exhibits from the National Archaeological Museum (Greece's largest museum and one of the world's best for ancient sculpture), the Acropolis Museum, the Museum of Cycladic Art (with its prehistoric and Cycladic artifacts), the National Gallery-Alexandros Soutsos Museum with its modern Greek art, and the Benaki Museum with its 33,000 exhibits. What foreigner who receives a letter stamped with the Kouros of Anavyssos would not want to come and see the original?
