At the Bath of the Winds, a monument of Ottoman times that encloses images and sensations of centuries, in a timeless meeting point of people and cultures, the Museum of Modern Greek Culture, the visual artist Artemis Hatzigiannaki and the journalist and writer Nikos Vatopoulos present the exhibition entitled “Vrysaki. In search of the lost quarter”.

The exhibition highlights the anthropogeography of the old lost quarter of Athens, which was located in the area now occupied by the archaeological site of the Ancient Agora. Vrysaki was expropriated and demolished in the early 1930s for the needs of the excavations conducted by the American School of Classical Studies.

Objects from the Museum’s collections interact with the watercolors of the artist Artemis Hatzigiannaki, in order to bring to life aspects of everyday life in Vryssaki and its wider area, within the boundaries of which both the Bath of Aeres and the Museum of Modern Greek Culture are located.
