Unlocking Greek mythology

In collaboration with the Heraklion Archaeological Museum in Crete, the Palace Museum is presenting the exhibition Daedalus: Legends of Crete, a display of 172 ancient artifacts from the collection of the Greek museum. It will run through July 27.

Painted pottery, bronze ware, gold ornaments, architectural fragments, and other artifacts take visitors back to Minoan civilization (c.3000 to 1100 BC). It is the first thematic exhibition focusing on this civilization, which lies at the roots of ancient Greece, ever held in China, though the Classical Age and other historical Greek periods have been the focus of many exhibitions across China.
