The crisis hit the Museums of the Acropolis

What do you tell young archaeologists? What should they expect from this occupation?

I always tell the young students that archeology as a profession is very interesting to the public and to us as scientists, but it is not easy. There are serious problems – managerial and financial. However, you should be positive and ready to fight. You should always be open-minded and be ready to adapt to the changes and to seek new ways to present history to the public in an attractive way. This is what I have learned all the way to the opening of this museum. The historical treasures it presents are public wealth. It belongs not only to the archaeological world, but also to the public. It is not easy to make it accessible. When the people are visiting the museum, they should feel good in it, learn new things, feel calm and realize that we as humans are not living in the world only here and now, we are part of eternity.
