An extraordinary collection of items from Pergamos (Pergamon) that shows the unbelievably high level that Greek civilization achieved. You can see not only how it is the foundation of Western art and culture, but how relevant and appealing it is to our contemporary eyes. Don’t miss the oldest surviving fragment of the Odyssey, the intricate gold jewelry, the mosaic with street musicians, the bronze head from Kalymnos, and the fragment of a colossal head of a young man, just to name a few. It is a pity that more hasn’t survived the centuries.

    We love art. We like looking at art, whether good or bad, and talking about it.
