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.
