For the first time, more than 80 objects from the Antikythera Shipwreck are on display at the Aikaterini Laskaridis Foundation, in the most comprehensive periodic exhibition to date, presenting the results of modern research, from 2012 to the most recent in 2024, and providing information about the ship, its rigging, cargo and occupants.

After six years, the Aikaterini Laskaridis Foundation is once again hosting findings from the Antikythera shipwreck, offering once again the opportunity for the public to get to know and browse the great finds of the wondrous shipwreck with its famous Mechanism. Among the findings, a special place is occupied by the marble head of Hercules crowned with a vine, which seems to be related to the marble headless statue of Hercules of the Farnese type of the National Archaeological Museum, which was excavated in 1901 by the Symi sponge divers.

In the context of the exhibition, the Foundation, in collaboration with the KARPOS team, designed the educational workshop “A Dive into the Archaeology of the Sea. An interactive history game in the Greek seas” for children aged 10-14 years old. Children will tour the exhibition and through group activities and the use of digital and audiovisual tools will discuss concepts and processes of marine archaeology and the relationship of archaeology with today. Through hands-on activities based on observation and photography, they will learn about incredible shipwrecks and how archaeologists work to uncover treasures that have been lost for centuries.
