EXHIBITION
ANTIQUARIANISM AND PHILHELLENISM: THE THANASSIS AND MARINA MARTINOS COLLECTION From the Museum of Cycladic Art at Athens International Airport December 16, 2020 - April 30, 2021
After three successful exhibitions, the Athens International Airport is collaborating anew with the Museum of Cycladic Art by organizing the exhibition Antiquarianism and Philhellenism: The Thanassis and Marina Martinos Collection, to celebrate the bicentennial of the outbreak of the Greek Revolution of 1821. The exhibition will run until April 30, 2021 and is hosted in the Art & Culture area on the Arrivals Level of the airport.
The panorama presented in the airport exhibition copies a Wallpaper Panorama that was printed in France in 1828. Celebrated ancient Greek locations (Thermopylae, Delphi, and Parnassos) are depicted in it, 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 curated by Art Historian Dr. Fani-Maria Tsigakou and Professor Nikolaos Chr. Stampolidis, which is already displayed at the Museum of Cycladic Art and will open its doors as soon as Greek museums reopen.
The video screened in the Airport exhibition space offers viewers a brief guided tour of selected art pieces from the Museum by the curators, Dr Fani-Maria Tsigakou and Professor Nikolaos Chr. Stampolidis.
