In the 2022. Text from the Museum:

To celebrate the bicentennial of the outbreak of the Greek Revolution in 1821, the Ephorate of Antiquities of the Cyclades is organizing in the Archaeological Museum of Mykonos the temporary exhibition titled ‘The Archipelago on Fire’.

The segmented exhibition, with title inspired by Jules Verne’s novel, is a unique opportunity to present, through a broad spectrum of objects from all the Cycladic islands, aspects of pre-revolutionary society in the Archipelago. This region was a vital space of social and political fermentation, where favourable preconditions were created for the development of contributory forces to the Struggle.
