The project House of Classical Greek Ideas, aims to create an innovative prototype exhibition space of ancient Greek Ideas and ancient Greek philosophy. The project is a collaboration between the Ministry of Culture and Sports and NCSR Demokritos.
Ideas are an emblematic part of the intangible cultural heritage, with the ancient Greek ideas being dominant, due to the influence they had on the formation of the western way of thinking and the organisation of societies as we know them. The aim of the project is to bring the ideas – and especially the ancient Greek ideas – to the forefront, presenting them for the first time to the general public through a digital “display of ideas”.
Making use of state-of-the-art technologies, the ideas will be presented in an attractive and accessible way, aiming at an experiential browsing experience. Through interactive digital exhibits, visitors will come in contact with concepts, questions and problems posed by ancient philosophers in relation to the World and the Human. Visitors will explore ideas through interactive smart walls, digital projections and applications that use artificial intelligence as part of interacting with the visitor. The exhibition will target different types of visitors, such as tourists and students.
