Travellers to the airport will be able to see the exhibition until April 30, 2021.
The panorama presented in the airport exhibition space copies a wallpaper panorama that was printed in France in 1828.
Depicted in it are celebrated ancient Greek locations (Thermopylae, Delphi, Parnassos), as well as scenes from the Greeks’ Struggle for Independence (1821-1828) from the Ottoman yoke.
The original wallpaper panorama will be on display in the exhibition ‘Antiquarianism and Philhellenism. The Thanassis and Marina Martinos Collection’ at the Museum of Cycladic Art.
When museums are allowed to open and welcome visitors again, the exhibition will be curated by Dr Fani-Maria Tsigakou and Professor Nikolaos Chr. Stampolidis.
