Greek antiquities from the Louvre and Dimitris Yeros’s  photographs at Mexico City’s Museo 

From 28 January the Museo Nacional de Antropología (MNA) in Mexico City is hosting the gala exhibition “Keramiká. Materia divina de la Antigua Grecia”.

The one hundred or so exhibits, all of them older than two thousand years , come exclusively from the Louvre Museum collection.

The entrance of the museum is dominated by some gigantic black and white photographs of Greek archaeological sites taken by Dimitris Yeros.

Using these photographs the museum personnel have created impressive frescoes depicting the lands where the ancient artifacts originated. 

The exhibition , one of the most important current cultural events in Mexico, will run until April 27 and subsequently move to Oaxaca’s Santo Domingo Cultural Center.
