The Acropolis Museum in Athens will participate in the “Green Cultural Routes” nationwide initiative on Sunday, May 26, organized by the Greek Culture Ministry.

Through the thematic presentation “Exploring Nature’s Elements at the Acropolis Museum”, special objects from the museum will be showcased, highlighting how the four elements of nature are reflected in art in different ways.

“Beliefs, myths, and philosophical concerns, as well as simple daily needs, find expression in the shapes and images of elaborate lamps, mythical demons, and ritual vessels,” an announcement by the museum’s management says.

To explain the artifacts, the museum’s archaeologists will tell stories involving fire, earth, air, and water, highlighting the negative interaction between humanity and nature.

This special thematic presentation is offered free of charge, but a free admission ticket is required from the museum ticket desk (limited to 30 visitors per session). To participate, visitors must register online at www.events.theacropolismuseum.gr.

The presentation will be available in English and Greek, starting at 10 am and 1 pm, respectively, with each session lasting 90 minutes.
