The big exhibition for the Aegean Sea, titled “AEGEAN – The Creation of an Archipelago”, is moving to a new venue, the Planetarium of the Eugenides Foundation through  to 23 October 2014.

Millions of people visit the Aegean Sea and its islands every year to enjoy the sun, traditional lifestyle and warm-hearted people. What most don’t know is that the Aegean Sea has been on a twenty-million-year journey to take on the shape they see around them.

The story of its creation is full of geological transformations, volcanic eruptions, island formations, extinct civilizations and, of course, mythical figures. “AEGEAN: Creation of an Archipelago” invites children and adults to dive beneath the surface of the Aegean Sea and rediscover its literally groundbreaking history, from the viewpoint of volcanism, mineralogy and paleontology.

The Eugenides Foundation is at 387 Syngrou Avenue, Paleo Faliron (entrance from 11 Pendelis St.) Tel 210 946 9632.
