Ancient Greece travels to China and Australia

·

China and Australia will be the next destinations for major exhibitions showcasing treasures and masterpieces from ancient Greece. According to apogevmatini newspaper, these exhibitions, part of Greece’s cultural diplomacy efforts, highlight the country’s pivotal role in shaping global civilization.

Powergame.gr has reported that a significant dual presentation is set to take place. The exhibition “A Journey to Ancient Greece will feature 177 ancient artifacts and nine replicas from archaeological museums and antiquities collections. It will be hosted at the Sanxingdui Museum (April–September 2025) and later at the Liangzhu Museum (October 2025–March 2026) in China.

The exhibition opens with “Dawn of Civilization,” focusing on the Cycladic, Minoan, and Mycenaean cultures. It will then explore “Glory and Grandeur,” showcasing achievements in politics, philosophy, theater, and the arts, as well as Greek expansion through travel and colonization. Greek mythology, artistic pursuits, the Olympic Games, and Alexander the Great’s conquests—spreading Greek culture across three continents—will also be featured.

Meanwhile, in Australia, the exhibition “Rituals – Gifts to the Gods” will be held at the Hellenic Museum in Melbourne from March 25 to November 25, 2025. Featuring 119 selected antiquities, it aims to illustrate humanity’s timeless need for connection with the divine through religious beliefs and rituals.

These prestigious exhibitions further enhance Greece’s global cultural influence, reinforcing its status as a cornerstone of Western civilization and a highly sought-after destination.
