Shanghai Museum's exhibition "Treasures from the Acropolis Museum" will run until 08 April 2018 and include two treasures from the Acropolis Museum in Athens.
The marble statue of a Kore (520-510 BC), one of the most beautiful and well-preserved sculptures of the Acropolis, which retains traces of its old colours, and a red-figure Lekanis Lid with a Dionysian scene (350-325 BC).
These two treasures from the Acropolis Museum in Athens, the Kore and the Lekanis Lid, are part of a cultural exchange program between the Shanghai Museum and the Acropolis Museum, which was signed in December 2015.
'Through these masterpieces, visitors have an opportunity to acquaint themselves with the place of origin of the gods of Olympus and the manner in which the ancient Greeks worshipped their gods.'
The Acropolis Museum currently displays two Shanghai Museum treasures: the bronze pan of Zi Zhong Jiang (770 – late half 7th century BC) and the hand scroll painting "Travelling along the Clear River" (17th century). These two exhibits will remain on display until 30 April 2018 on the ground floor foyer during Museum opening hours. In this area of the Acropolis Museum, no admission ticket is required.
