Video commentary by the exhibition's curator, Mauro Peressini, on the connection of an artifact to its historical context: Greek Antiquity.

This zone begins in prehistory, when the first livestock breeders and farmers settled on Greek soil. It extends into antiquity through the Classical golden age, and into the early centuries of the current era, when Greece became part of the Roman Empire. This section looks at the great history of the Greek civilization, which, with its explorers, traders, philosophers, political reformers, writers and artists, and with its myths and its gods, established the cultural foundations of the West and left its mark on the world.
