Booooooo … Athens has been grand, heatwave notwithstanding

July 15, 2023

I can’t pick just 1 snap from today. Athens is under a heat advisory so we opted to not tour the ruins we were going to day trip to, and go for some smaller museums instead. I’m glad we took the time! This oil on braided canvas piece is from the Goulandris Foundation Museum
I was in even more heaven at museum 2 – the Bernaki Museum. Tons of historical dress, textile arts and jewelry exhibits. Plus one of the largest groupings of Medieval iconographic art I think we’ve yet seen.

Artisans working on repairs to the Acropolis. The white marble is new, quarried from the same area as the weathered darker stones.
