As part of the current periodic exhibition “The Multiple Versions of Beauty”, the National Archaeological Museum is organizing activities of experimental archaeology, by offering its visitors the opportunity to view the beauty of the ancient world in a multi-sensory way.
From Monday, 3rd till Sunday the 16th of September, recreations of costumes inspired by Minoan Crete, Thira and Minoan Greece will be exhibited at the Museum. Diana Wardle, an archaeology researcher and scientific collaborator from the University of Birmingham and a member of the British School of Athens, created them, after having researched wall paintings of the costumes, micro sculptures and also the technology of their weave.
