The Acropolis Museum participates in the celebration of the European Cultural Heritage Days 2024 with the thematic presentation "Ηealth: tracing a universal and timeless good". It is a journey into the world of health and hygiene in antiquity, revealed to us by the relevant facilities in the ancient neighborhood that spreads out below the Acropolis Museum, but also by the multitude of objects on display in the newly established Excavation Museum. Guided by the archaeologists of the Department of Educational Programs, we trace the ancients' perceptions of health and hygiene, the ways and means they used to take care of the body and the soul, the scientific knowledge as well as the religious aspect they gave in order to secure the most precious good.
The program is in line with this year's pan-European theme "Tracing Routes, Networks and Links in Cultural Heritage" and is part of the general spirit of the Council of Europe "Europe, a common heritage".
