The exhibition, co-organized by OPANDA and the Ephorate of Antiquities of the Cyclades, is structured around two axes. On the one hand, it presents various aspects of life in Daskalio which demonstrate its uniqueness and position in an extensive exchange network. On the other hand, the exhibition presents aspects of the excavation and documentation processes, which have been carried out using state-of-the-art technologies, as well as aspects of the demanding work of archaeologists and researchers under particularly harsh soil and climatic conditions.

The exhibition is curated by the archaeologist-museologist of the Ephorate of Antiquities of Cyclades Stefanos Keramidas, under the general coordination of Director Dimitris Athanasoulis, with co-curator Margarita Drillia, archaeologist and contact person responsible for communicating with Easydot, the company that conducted the museographical design study. The coordination on behalf of the OPANDA was undertaken by the Gallery’s curator Kalli Petrocheilou.
