A group exhibition of photographs and sacred treasures


The Mount Athos Center is contributing to the programme of events for the Municipality of Thessaloniki’s ‘Devotional Week’ by organising a group exhibition of photographs and sacred treasures entitled ‘Easter on Mount Athos’, which presents photographic material on the subject of Holy Week and Easter in the Athonite republic.  
 


With the restaging of the exhibition of historic photographs and film from the archives of Princeton University,  the Mount Athos Center is organising a series of guided afternoon tours aimed mainly at adults and designed to present the unique and fascinating story of the three traveller-artists who travelled from Princeton to Mount Athos and the Meteora in 1929.  
 
The guided tours, which will be led by Mr. Anastasios Douros, the curator of the exhibition and director of the Mount Athos Center, will take place at the following times:
 
Thursday 29 February: (1st) 17:00 – 18:30 & (2nd) 18:30 – 20:00
Thursday 14 March:     (3rd) 17:00 – 18:30 & (4th) 18:30 – 20:00
Thursday 28 March:     (5th) 17:00 – 18:30 & (6th) 18:30 – 20:00
Thursday 11 April:       (7th) 17:00 – 18:30 & (8th) 18:30 – 20:00


Each of the above 8 guided tours will be for a group of 15 people and so all those interested in going on a tour are requested to reserve a place either by sending an email to This email address is being protected from spambots.

Guided tours for school students will continue to be provided every morning, subject to prior arrangement with the Mount Athos Center (please contact +30 2310 263 308).  


 

The rareness and uniqueness of the documents displayed in the exhibition ‘No Woman’s Land. From Princeton to Mount Athos and the Meteora in 1929’, together with its huge popularity with the general public, schools and other educational institutions both in Thessaloniki and Kalambaka, has prompted us to restage the exhibition in the exhibition space of the Mount Athos Center in Thessaloniki (Egnatia 109) from 15 February until 15 April 2024.
