Greece’s Ministry of Culture will stage 190 free live performances across 94 ancient archaeological sites and museums this summer, marking a major expansion of the country’s efforts to decentralize its modern art scene.

Culture Minister Lina Mendoni had a working meeting with the State Department‘s senior official for culture and education, Dr. Darren Beatty, in Washington on Wedbnesday for the second time since taking office in February. The working meeting was held in a very friendly atmosphere, confirming the very high level of Greek-American relations and the central role of culture in bilateral relations.

Archaeological sites will open on May 18, open-air summer cinemas on June 1, museums on June 15, while outdoor cultural events will commence on July 15, said Culture & Sports Minister Lina Mendoni at Thursday's briefing on measures to protect arts and culture after the coronavirus pandemic's first wave in Greece.
