Archaeological Museum on Greek island of Corfu to reopen after six years | TornosNews.gr

The Archaeological Museum of Corfu, fully renovated and ready to receive the public, will open its doors again on Friday after being closed for six

The Archaeological Museum of Corfu, fully renovated and ready to receive the public, will open its doors again on Friday after being closed for six years, ANA reports. The two-storey building that housed the museum, built in 1967, underwent a complete overhaul costing 4.5 million euros, provided by the European Regional Development Fund.

Among its most significant exhibits is the pediment of the Temple of Artemis Gorgon, measuring 17.02 metres long and 3.18 metres high, which is made of local limestone. This is considered to be the work of a Corinthian sculptor dating back to the first quarter of the 6th century B.C. that was made at a time when Corfu was undergoing significant political change and shaking off Corinthian rule. It is not known, however, whether the pediment was made under Corinthian rule or after the island gained its autonomy.

Made a lot of new friends at Paléopolis. Maybe kind of creepy though. Mainly because of having too many teeth and tiny little arms. That doesn’t look very scary. More like a six-foot turkey. 🦃 🦖 🦕 #dinosaur #dinosaurs #dinosaure #dinosaures #paleopolis #museum #skeleton #fossil #fossils #exhibition #tarbosaurus #quetzalcoatlus #utahraptor #raptor #jurassicpark #dinosaurlover #dinosaurfan #dinosaurfreak #paleontologist #paleontology #grownupinthe90s #alangrantismyspiritanimal (à Paléopolis)

The Ancient Greek Sanctuary of Samothrace

Samothrace, a small, rocky Greek island in the northern Aegean Sea, has a storied past that belies its diminutive size. One of the most rugged of all the Greek islands, its Mt. Saos rises to 1,611 meters (5,285 feet).

Known best for its Sanctuary of the Great Gods, or Hieron ton Megalon Theon, in Paleopolis, it was once the home of the stunningly beautiful 2.5-meter (8.2-foot) tall marble statue of Nike, created in 190 BC, now known as the “Winged Victory of Samothrace.”

Like so many other of Greece’s ancient treasures, it now is displayed in a European museum (in this case, the Louvre in Paris); but it was once part of the Sanctuary, whose remains still grace the island today.
