Our thanks
Open Horizons: Ancient Greek Journeys and Connections is an international exhibition collaboration between National Archeological Museum, Athens and Museums Victoria. It is the result of a collective effort by many staff from both organisations. From curatorial and creative concept to final delivery, departments across our organisations brought their expertise, talent and dedication to create this experience for you.
