Museum Tour Inquiry

Post by Thalestris »

Does anyone know if there will be a revisit of the 1982 art exhibit world tour of "In Search of Alexander" in the future?? I saw it in 1982, and nearly went into a trance throughout the exhibit, so I am hoping a similar exhibit tour will happen again. Anyone know??? Thank you!

I think there was one much more recently than that - some time in the '90's. I've seen the exhibit several times in Thessaloniki, actually saw it the first time it was made public and many times since then due to my research trips. I believe some of the stuff has been moved to Veria (to the site of the tombs) (NOT the museum in Vergina). But I haven't been able to get up there the last couple of years to verify which items are in the new museum there or if they are all on display as yet.
Check with the Greek Ministry of Culture and perhaps they will have info for you.
