Homer’s heroic poem about Odysseus is both one of the first great, epic stories, and also provides us with a mysterious picture of a dramatic epoch in history. In the special exhibition about the Journey of Odysseus, we can explore the historical background of the story in classical Greece. Here, we meet universal themes about nature and human nature, morality, male and female roles, and especially man’s timeless urge to go on adventures to foreign worlds.

The special exhibition about the Journey of Odysseus opens in autumn 2027.
