The Acropolis museum

One of the most famous exhibits are the Caryatids.

A sculpture that has the form of a woman and is used in place of columns in  a temple in the Acropolis. They got their name after women in Sparta who danced to honor Artemis Karyatis.

There are six of them but one of them is found in the British Museum in London.It was removed by lord Elgin between 1800 and 1803.

Some thoughts

"I’ m amazed from the beauty of the sculpture."

"I’m surprised and full of wonder that people who lived 3,000 years ago managed to build something that beautiful."

Papadopoulou I.

A few words about the museum and some of its exhibits

Mona Lisa

The painting is a  portrait of a woman

It was painted on a white popular panel between 1503 and 1506 but Leonardo Da Vinci continued working on it as late as 1517.

The Arnolfini project by Jan Van Eyck
I feel happy when watching this painting because it depicts a pregnant woman but also sad because we don't see her husband around-i also feel curious about the role of the man in the painting

Exhibits that impressed me Tyrannosausrus Rex

Mauritius dodos(birds) and the Blue whale (largest creature ever)

 

                                                                                            Freri K.

"One of the exhibits depicts the Diplodocus  skeleton

Diplodocus had a long neck that it would have  used to reach high and low vegetation and drink water

When  I saw the huge exhibit I  was very impressed, I couldn’t believe that such a huge animal ever existed. I feel stunned when I look at it. I thought how  great it would be  to watch it closely"

Another exhibit is the following:

T rex

A giant moving model of Trex as it was when it lived … You can hear it roar

It was one of the largest meat eating dinosaurs (skull length 1,5 m body 12 m)

I marvel the power of its huge jawbone and 15 cm long teeth!

It walked the Earth 67 million years ago and its impressive we know about it

Pterosaurus fight in the age of Dinosaurs

Fossils

 They flew with their wings. They walked on their fingers. Some were gigantic while other could fit in the palm of a hand.

When you see the exhibits of Pterosaurus  live you go back in time and you understand how these ancient creatures lived

"I feel curious about how they lived and I admire the way they used to fly"
