NEON and the Acropolis Museum invites you to the opening of the exhibition Allspice | Michael Rakowitz & Ancient Cultures at the Acropolis Museum Temporary Exhibition Gallery.

Allspice | Michael Rakowitz & Ancient Cultures is the opening exhibition of the trilogy Michael Rakowitz & Ancient Cultures, a collaboration between the Hellenic Ministry of Culture, the Acropolis Museum and NEON Organization.

It presents the multifaceted work of internationally acclaimed contemporary artist Michael Rakowitz interacting with ancient artifacts from the Middle East and southeastern Mediterranean.

Through intensely political works, the exhibition highlights the importance of cultural heritage, and explores themes of loss, restoration and restitution of antiquities, survival and forging new cultural identities.

Allspice | Michael Rakowitz & Ancient Cultures is a timely reminder of the fate of displaced people and cultural artifacts in the midst of war.
