A Peek At The Museum Pieces
The museum was well lit and the display cases were neatly arranged on both sides of the room. Photography is allowed.
I can't remember what these are and I have no snap of their description either.
However, their pottery is so precious. I was so enamored by their designs.
Some gold flowers and leaves. I haven't seen much in gold though.
More pottery.
And then some more. Didn't I say I loved them? 
This pair is my favorite. Funny that a few weeks before my trip I was browsing thru a shopping catalog and I saw something really similar. However, these vases that I was eyeing were African vases and were advertised as original design. I don't know anymore :)I have uploaded a few more on Flickr, click if you want to see the rest. My time and postings in Athens is nearing its end. I have one more then off to another port.
Very cool artifacts!
ReplyDeleteI keep telling Astrid we will just HAVE to visit Greece one of these days/years! You have totally whetted my appetite, Maria.
ReplyDeleteStunning pieces of gold there. Very interesting collection. Thanks for share! :)

Such great shot of the museum and its artifacts, glad photography was allowed there is to many museums these days its not allowed
ReplyDeleteVery nice pottery, interesting the gold flowers and leaves. Many interestings pieces in the second picture as well. Beautiful images!
ReplyDeleteI'm interested in the gold leaves! I wonder why...
ReplyDeleteThanks for visiting Norwich Daily Photo and leaving your comment. See you again tomorrow!
amazing. it's unbelievable that they've survived.
ReplyDeletethose gold leaves, are those the ones used on laurel crowns?
ReplyDeletehmmm...
I love the pottery on the last photo. They do resemble African designs.
ReplyDeleteYou know I do need to go out and enjoy a park or museum. what a great idea!!! Looked like a fun visit. :) Thanks for your kind comments on my shutterchance.
ReplyDeleteI also have a 'pieces of gold' shot from the Stoa :-)
ReplyDeleteIf I have the chance, I like to take photo of each pieces in the museum. For that moment, I may not appreciate all. But it really happened/happens that after a month or so, I'll encounter a feature through the television or other form about a certain piece, then I'd say, "ah, yun pala yun! sandali may picture ako nyan."
ReplyDeleteIt's really seldom we see museums that allow photography inside. Did you have any "temple-fatigue" syndrome after seeing a lot of ruins in Athens?
ReplyDeleteterrific collection of artifacts here. and the pottery is beautiful!
ReplyDeleteI haven't been to this new museum and it looks just great. You have chosen fanfastic pieces to show us!
ReplyDeleteit's not often you'd get inside a museum that;s not off-limits.
