A press conference was held on December 5 for the Acropolis Museum’s new exhibition titled ‘Meanings’ (‘NoHMATA’): Personifications and Allegories from Antiquity to Today. The Museum’s General Director, Professor Nikolaos Chr. Stampolidis, speaking about the unique artworks on view in the exhibition, their personifications and allegories, but also the excellent relations with the British Museum, which has loaned the Meidias Hydria and seven other items for the exhibition. Prof. Stampolidis then guided the members of the media present, including The National Herald, on a tour of the exhibition space.
The exhibition opens to the general public on December 7 and consists of an artistic Tetralogy, bringing together works from four different periods, Antiquity, Byzantium, the Renaissance, and Modern Art, with a total of 164 works by artists from Rubens up to Tsarouchis, highlighting the exhibition’s themes.
“The one-word title ‘Meanings’ (‘NoHMATA’), with six of its seven letters (in Greek), capitalized and the second lowercase, refers to the meanings of its thematic plot as personifications, symbolisms, and allegories are decisive constants that run through the exhibition as timeless threads,” noted Prof. Stampolidis.
