What is a museum? A house of memory? A time machine? Or perhaps… a heartbeat between past and future?
Join Katerina Batzaki, this Sunday, May 18 at 11:00 a.m. Athens time on ERT’s Voice of Greece, as we celebrate World Museum Day with a journey across continents — from Melbourne to Chicago — exploring how Greek museums abroad are not just preserving our heritage, but transforming it into something living, global, and relevant.
First stop: Australia! We speak with Sarah Craig, Director of the Hellenic Museum of Australia. In multicultural Melbourne, this vibrant museum bridges ancient Greece and modern identity — inspiring dialogue, creativity, and connection.
Next stop: the USA! We travel to Chicago to meet Dr. Katherine Kelaidis, Director of Research & Content at the National Hellenic Museum. Here, heritage meets innovation, and diaspora voices shape new narratives of what it means to be Greek in the world today.
Why do these museums matter? How do they speak to new generations? And what happens when cultural memory meets bold imagination?
Let’s rethink heritage. Let’s reimagine identity. Let’s be Infinitely Curious.
