Antiquarianism & Philhellenism | Athens | To June 2o
The Museum of Cycladic Art reopened its doors in May with a exhibition dedicated to the Greek Revolution’s bicentenary. Curated by art historian Dr Fani-Maria Tsigakou and Professor Nikolaos Stampolidis, “Antiquarianism & Philhellenism” brings together important 19th century European and Greek neoclassical works from the private collection of Thanassis and Marina Martinos and displays them beside some of its ancient artifacts, initiating a dialogue on how the 19th century fascination with ancient Greece contributed to the international support for the uprising against Ottoman rule.
