The Hellenic Foundation for Culture will present a multimedia exhibition entitled 'History Lost' (produced by Anemon Productions) in the National Museum of Archaeology, Lisbon. The subject of it is the illicit antiquities trade and the impact of antiquities theft on culture. The Portuguese capital is the second port of call after Trieste on the route of this travelling exhibition, which is organised by the Hellenic Foundation for Culture in the context of Greece's efforts to secure the repatriation of illegally exported ancient artifacts. It will be inaugurated in the National Museum of Archaeology, Lisbon, on 31 January 2008, and has been enriched by copies of finds that have been returned - after the relevant requests - to Greece and Cyprus in recent years (the Aidonia Treasure, a marble head of Dionysos from Corinth, the Kanakaria mosaics from Cyprus, and others). Professor Lord Renfrew will give a lecture on "The illicit trade of antiquities in the world" (February 1, National Museum of Ancient Art, 18:00). The exhibition takes visitors on a journey from the looting of the archaeological museum in Baghdad and the smashing of statues in temples in Cambodia, to the sale of stolen antiquities from Mediterranean countries to auction houses in the USA... read more in Voice of Greece : http://www.voiceofgreece.gr/news-in-english/history-lost-in-lisbon.htm All about ancient greek history http://www.greek-thesaurus.gr
