On the morning of 8 November 2024, the announcement ceremony of the cooperation of the exhibition ‘The Journey of Ancient Greece’ was held on the sidelines of the 7th China International Import Expo.

The exhibition 'The Journey of Ancient Greece' will be, according to the planning of the memoranda, on display for half a year from April 2025 to March 2026 at the Sanxingdui Museum and the Liangzhu Museum respectively.

The exhibition will intend to bring up the important archaeological sites in Greece, and selects important cultural relics unearthed from the major sites, especially gold and bronze statues, to form a dialogue with Chinese cultural relics, and to demonstrate some of the similarities and differences between the two sides in terms of culture, art and aesthetics. 

The Consul General in his speech, among others, stated: ‘Through these exhibitions the Chinese public will experience an aptly called cultural “Journey to Ancient Greece", a synergy of entities of both countries, which take great pride in their rich heritage and share deep respect for each other’s cultural traditions.

The two signed memoranda between the Greek Ministry of Culture and the Sanxingdui Museum and Liangzhu Museum can truly serve as signposts for cultural exchanges and education as both Greece and China have diachronically pursued knowledge in a comprehensive way, incorporating historical and cultural artifacts. 

These synergies demonstrate that in the cultural field, our bilateral relations are systematically aiming at mutual understanding and a beneficial conceptual framework.’
