Description
The Plato Academy Museum is now offering visitors to the ancient site in central Athens the chance to take a virtual tour of the grounds where the ancient Greek philosopher once made history.
With the help of the latest in technology including digital representations, special activities and a special construction hosting the Academy’s new museum, visitors can now “experience” life and learning in Plato’s Academy – cited by historians as the Western world’s first institution of higher learning – its influence, changing role and developments through time.
The digital museum was inaugurated on November 2015 by Athens Mayor Giorgos Kaminis and Sophia Kounenaki-Efraimoglou, vice president of the Foundation of the Hellenic World and Head of ‘Hellenic Cosmos’ Cultural Center, who joined forces in this public-private partnership for culture.
