Mostre di Atene
novembre 2026
William Kentridge's rusted steel figures now walk among the kouroi at the National Archaeological Museum, which also holds the Mycenaean gold of Pylos of Nestor. EMST keeps Niki Kanagini's retrospective up into February. From November the archaeological museum is free on the first and third Sundays, handy as Athens gets its first proper rain.
