A bronze sculpture from the sea of the island of Kalymnos

The Acropolis Museum, in cooperation with the Ephorate of Underwater Antiquities is exhibiting the torso of a bronze statue of a rider which was caught in fishing nets in the marine area of Kalymnos, a location which over the previous years has provided other bronze sculptures. These are original works from the Hellenistic Period that are distinguished by the high standard of their artistic quality. The bronze sculpture is displayed in the foyer of the Acropolis Museum from 14 October 2016 to 31 March 2017. The exhibition coincides with the anniversary celebration of the 40 years since the founding of the Ephorate of Underwater Antiquities in 1976. In this area no admission ticket is required.
