The Field Museum in Chicago, USA, announced that it will open “The Greeks: From Agamemnon to Alexander the Great” in November.

The exhibition will take visitors on an extraordinary journey through more than 5000 years of Greek culture—from their Neolithic origins to the expansion of Greek culture into Asia and Africa under Alexander the Great. Drawing from the collections of 21 Greek museums, it will be the largest exhibition on the ancient Greeks in North America in 25 years.

The exhibition is co-presented in Chicago by The Field Museum and the National Hellenic Museum.

“We are honored to be able to present such an important exhibition that shows the emergence of Greek culture from its roots in the early agricultural villages of the Neolithic to the imperial expansion of Alexander,” Field Museum Curator, William Parkinson, said in an announcement.

The Greeks is organized by the Canadian Museum of History and the Hellenic Ministry of Culture and Sports in partnership with National Geographic Society and The Field Museum.
