Ancient coroplastic art – the modelling of terracotta figures – is a widely used art which allows for the production of replicates. Its remnants reflect the number of users throughout the ancient Greek world, and the many ancient visitors to the temples of the Acropolis. The figurines and relief panels in the Museum’s exhibition spaces make a distinct impression with their faded colours, variety, and often direct, frontal communication with the modern viewer. Visitors will have the opportunity to explore the details, production techniques, and the research and dating methods used for these objects, as well as the fascinating world they reveal, together with the Museum’s Archaeologist-Hosts.
