Anniversary for the Acropolis Museum, new actions, five million. visitors

His fame has spread worldwide, its prestige is internationally enforced

Three years today for the Acropolis Museum with its visitors touching the 5 millions, his fame to have spread throughout the world and his prestige to be enforced internationally.

An anniversary that is justifiably celebrated with pride in this particularly critical period for the country, let alone the museum, even in this last year it operated with its own revenue without burdening the state budget. "Some people think that culture and museums are unnecessary luxuries in difficult times. We experienced other things", said the president of the Acropolis Museum at noon, professor Mr. Dimitris Pandermalis. "We saw ordinary people being moved by their walk through the halls of the museum and taking a deep breath escaping from the gray everyday life. Visitors watching next to the burnt statues of the Persian disaster, the masterpieces born soon after, they automatically draw the parallel with the possibilities of the day after today's financial crisis", he added.

With the halls glowing with Attic light and the luster of marble statues, especially for today and to the sounds of live classical music, the museum welcomes the public _ already increased from the previous month _ with changes, improvements, welding of fragments to the sculptures that thus take on a more complete form but also with the exposure of the two metopes that were taken down from the Parthenon to save them from decay.

"The Acropolis Museum has played a leading role these years in an international dialogue with the other museums of the world and abolished stereotypes", said the acting Minister of Culture Mrs. Tatiana Karapanagiotis on the occasion of the anniversary. And as for the Parthenon Sculptures that are in the British Museum: "I wish they would come! But even if they don't come back, we already have a miracle here. An amazing museum, magical and mostly ours!», he added. After all, having watched his birth since the period of the excavations, after recording with her lens the whole process step by step and from the beginning to the end Mrs. Karapanagioti could feel it like her home.

Regarding her tenure at the Ministry of Culture, the minister had an interesting experience to report: "I understood that the public works, at least what I got to know at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs", he said. "When you are outside you can criticize easily, but from the inside you realize the difficulty of things. So I will be more lenient from now on". The promotion of NSRF projects and the opening hours of museums and archaeological sites were her priorities, which were served flawlessly despite the shortness of her presence in the ministry. In the context of her responsibilities, she also referred the issue of the old Acropolis museum (on the rock) to the joint body of KAS and KSNM with the question of its preservation or demolition.

However, a "funny" incident prevented her and the general secretary of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (until that moment) Mrs. Lina Mendoni, whose name is mentioned in the next government to arrive on time as the security guard at the Makrygianni street entrance did not recognize them and did not allow them to pass!

New actions were also announced by Mr. Pandermalis with the first expansion of the coffee shop on the ground floor, where we were sitting, in the outer space above the excavation. A museum of the excavation is to be created just below, where they will be exposed about 1500 findings, which are now in storage. As for the highlighting of the excavation itself, which is about 3 acres… beware of the Bank of Greece that "cut" the museum's reserve. Specifically, as said by Mr. Pandermal from the 3,7 million. only euros remained 900.000, so the sponsor is now being sought to help carry out the project, for which one year is required anyway.

The action on the theme of light in antiquity is interesting, which will start on 27 June. Triggered by the golden lamp that lit the eternal light at the springs in Erechtheion, iconic exhibits of the museum, such as the bronze trireme – lamp, which was also found in Erechtheion will be marked in their showcases while a special brochure will be distributed at the entrance.

In July, the small exhibition on the color still preserved in the museum's archaic sculptures based on research will be presented, which is ongoing. The Veiled Daughter, a mold of which is colored with the colors resulting from this study, will be the proposal of the scientists of the Acropolis Museum on the subject. "So far the coloring of the Daughter has changed three times", characteristically said Mr. Pandermalis also assuring that the final result will have significant deviations from the painted archaic sculptures, presented by German scientists a few years ago.

"If you are a racist, you are a second class person"

For jealousy in her relationships, her thoughts on a wedding in the near future, but also for the racism he has received, she spoke Hit in Adore magazine of Thessaloniki.

"As far as I remember from Denmark and Sweden where I lived, those who went there from another country to live and made their effort there gained the respect of the local people. Here there are also those who tell you "go home because you want to sing in Greek when you don't have such a good accent". That is, it is far behind. But they don't interest me. We can't 2012 to be racist. I'm not just talking about the color, I talk about everything. For me, if you are racist, you are a second class person", said the singer.

Subsequently, the singer revealed that most of her relationships have ended because of jealousy: "It has happened that my partner told me "I fell in love with you, i still love you, but I can't stand myself, I'm jealous and I can't continue to be with you". But it was respected. I understand that there should be that too. And if I'm not jealous of my partner even a little, something is wrong".

As for whether she feels ready for a family and marriage, she says: "The thing is, I don't know if it will hit. I never dreamed I would wear a wedding dress. Not even. I don't even want a wedding dress, nor what the marriage will be like. Imagine for me the ideal wedding would be in Las Vegas amidst the madness, the two of us, with an unrelated witness…I want children. I love children very much. I want to be a mother".

"I've never snubbed TV"

Ioanna Pappa talks about her abstinence from television

Ioanna Pappa experienced great success through television series, however, there are many who accuse her of "snobbing" as she then followed a different path.

"No, I never snubbed her. Simply, I stayed away for a while because my need to be in something else was greater. Generally, I don't snob. I don't like it and I think it's a selfish element. I don't belong to’ these people. I have an ego, but in other areas. I abstained because I had to devote myself to’ what I needed to do. There was a time when I was rehearsing, performance and filming. That doesn't last very long, and I admire people who do it for a long time.".

In fact, he also answered why he did not capitalize on the success he experienced;

"You can do that if your goal is success. It wasn't me. It appeared at some point in the series of Christoforos Papakaliatis, and I was very happy with what happened at that time. Because at some point very wrong impressions come out", he continues explaining to TvEthnos:

"What a snob, even in quotes, an era. This is not the case. It was a period that I was very grateful for, I worked with good partners and it turned out a very good result. At that time, success was not my goal in itself’ that's why I didn't enter the process to redeem something".
