  • [01] Praxiteles exhibition opens at Louvre

    French Culture Minister Renaud Donnedieu de Vabres and his Greek counterpart George Voulgarakis inaugurated the Praxiteles exhibition at the Louvre Museum in Paris on Monday evening. The exhibition will run through June 18 at the museum's Napoleon Hall. The exhibition highlights the myth and history of the famous sculptor of antiquity Praxiteles, inspiring artists for centuries.

    The French culture minister said the exhibition "breathes in a European way and unites the Europeans" and expressing his thanks to Greece for lending works to enable the exhibition to be carried out.

    Voulgarakis congratulated the Louvre Museum for its brave decision to exhibit the considerable number of sculptures it possesses, that are attributed to the famous sculptor, and to collect unique works from big museums in Europe.

    The Louvre exhibition sketches the portrait of the ancient Athenian sculptor, revives dialogue on his work in the scientific community and invites the public to discover the spirit of Praxiteles.

    A part of the exhibition will be transferred to the National Archaeological Museum in Athens in the summer, where the public will be able to admire the Marathon Youth, who was not moved to the Louvre exhibition.
