Across Wine-Dark Seas: Art and Identity beyond Ancient Greece

This exhibition examines art and identity in the ancient Mediterranean world beyond the boundaries of mainland Greece. Through artifacts, visual culture, and archaeological evidence, the show explores how diverse civilizations—including Phoenician, Etruscan, Egyptian, and Near Eastern cultures—engaged in dynamic exchange across the wine-dark seas. The exhibition challenges traditional narratives centered solely on Classical Greece, revealing the rich complexity of interconnected Mediterranean societies and their profound influence on one another.
