The Acropolis Museum celebrates the European Cultural Heritage Days 2024 with the thematic presentation ‘Health: tracing a universal and timeless good’.It is a journey into the world of health and wellness in antiquity, revealed to us by the relevant facilities in the ancient neighbourhood below the Acropolis Museum, but also by the multitude of objects on display in the newly established Excavation Museum.

Guided by the archaeologists of the Department of Educational Programmes, visitors trace the ancients' perceptions of health and wellness, the ways and means they used to take care of the body and soul, the science of wellness as well as the religious aspect they utilised to secure the most precious good. The programme is in line with this year’s pan-European theme ‘Tracing Routes, Networks and Links in Cultural Heritage’ and is part of the general spirit of the Council of Europe ‘Europe, a common heritage’.
