Permanent exhibition in the museum shell of the Bound Men of Phaleron. The impressive find is highlighted in situ

The Ministry of Culture is proceeding with the promotion of the unique find of the "Bound Men", in the Esplanade of Phaleron, next to the Stavros Niarchos Foundation Cultural Center, with the creation of a permanent exhibition, within the museum's protective shell. The project is progressing on schedule, with a budget of 6,500,000 euros, financed by resources from the Recovery Fund. The find dates, according to the excavators, to the turbulent period of the second half of the 7th century BC, constituting a prominent archaeological find of global interest. The aim of the exhibition is to serve the understanding of a unique historical episode, in the turbulent period of the history of Athens, without trapping the visitor's gaze in the violence of the image. Therefore, the find and the place constitute an exceptional unity, where archaeological research meets history.
