The exhibition examines the relations between Anatolia, where the first steps towards civilization took place, and the nearby Cyclades islands in the Aegean that gave rise to reciprocal influence that created two cultures that while similar in many respects, nonetheless maintained distinctive regional characteristics.
The artifacts exclusively selected from fifteen Turkish museums as well as the National Archaeological Museum of Athens and the N. P. Goulandris Foundation Museum of Cycladic Art are on display.
The exhibition will display the interaction between the civilizations in Western Anatolia and Greece that date back to the 3rd Millenium BC, and by doing so, aims to contribute to the intercultural dialogue. The exhibition, in which the 5.000 years old trade and cultural relations between these two sides of the Aegean Sea is brought to light, hosts many pieces from the Early Bronze Age, including examples from the Cycladic art, figurines, ceramics and bronze tools.
The exhibition is the first time that artifacts from museums with extensive collections, such as the National Museum of Archaeology in Athens and the N. P. Goulandris Foundation Cycladic Art Museum, will be shown side by side with findings from Anatolia in Turkish museums. A total of 340 artifacts are displayed in the exhibition, which also carries the message that the Aegean is once again a sea of peace, as it was in the past.
