Athens - National Archaeological Museum

Athens, the southernmost capital on the European mainland, is one of the world's oldest cities, with its recorded history spanning over 3,400 years.

According to Greek mythology the city was named after Athena, the ancient Greek goddess of wisdom. Classical Athens was one of the most powerful city-states in ancient Greece. It was a centre for democracy, the arts, education and philosophy, and was highly influential throughout the European continent, particularly in Ancient Rome. For this reason it is often regarded as the cradle of Western civilisation and the birthplace of democracy.
Planning for an archaeological museum began with the founding of the Kingdom of Greece. Once financing was secured, construction began in 1866. The main building was inaugurated in 1874, followed by the two side wings in 1881 and 1885.

In 2009, the museum was expanded by approximately 24,000 m² of exhibition space, allowing it to display over 2,000 additional ancient exhibits. The about 11,000 objects on display come from all regions of Greece, as all important finds were brought exclusively there until the 20th century, so it is considered one of the greatest museums in the world and contains the richest collection of Greek Antiquity artifacts worldwide.

Michaelmas bee

It's Michaelmas, 29/9, the traditional day of all angels, not just Michael. You know: Gabriel, and Raphael, and Uriel too. Maybe even Lucifer by some people's ways of thinking.

(We atheistical socialists should appropriate the date: Day of All Revolutionists or something. Whaddya think?)

Meantime, here's an orange-belted bee, face and eyes into a Michaelmas Daisy up by Mr Mundy's Pond this afternoon.
