Exhibition "Art in Gold - Jewellery in Hellenistic Times"
Ever wondered how the ancient elite showcased their splendour with gold? The Art in Gold: Jewellery in Hellenistic Times exhibition reveals the secrets of Hellenistic-era jewellery. From stunning wedding adornments to the intricate Thessaly/Karpenisi Hoard, this exhibition dives deep into the artistry and meaning behind ancient gold. Plus, you get to see rare second-century BC goldsmith tools (on display in Greece for the first time!) and watch videos that bring these timeless techniques to life.
It doesn’t stop there—modern jewellery inspired by these golden relics, created by artists like Peter Bauhuis, Patrick Davison, Anastasia Kandaraki, Dimitris Nikolaidis, and more, proves that the Hellenistic flair still influences creators today. Catch an incredible video of contemporary jewellery maker and researcher of ancient techniques, Akis Goumas, reconstructing parts of a precious diadem.
