Athens Is Turning its Old Airport into One of Europe's Largest Parks
it won't only add an unforgettable attraction to the birthplace of Democracy, but also a shaded refuge for residents of Europe's hottest city

With our director, David Odo, moving on to the Honolulu Museum of Art, we sat down with him one last time to review his time here, talk about what he’ll miss in Athens and discuss his hopes for the future in his new position.

#HaroldRittenberry has been making art for decades in Athens, and you can find his work all over Clarke County and beyond. Now the museum has published a book on his art, including not only his large-scale sculpture but also his paintings, his drawings, his work in wood and more. Get your own copy from our web shop at

This new installation centers early-20th-century artists’ relationships to their environments and highlights the role of agriculture and urbanization in shifting cultural perceptions of time. In one corner of the gallery, three objects visualize this period in American history. Constructed from recycled materials, a clock made locally by Athens doctor William B. Conway in 1897 shares space with a cast-iron weathervane created around the same time.

Arscott joined the museum in 2009, coming in with a professional background quite different from the art world. Her education and early career were rooted in science, and she spent many years working in hospitals and laboratories before pivoting to museum work. Before moving to Athens, she lived in London, where she spent 10 years working for Brunel University’s Disability and Dyslexia Service.

Air travel complaints. Athens airport is pretty dismal for something built relatively recently. Greek ground staff for Air France are not at all concerned about comfort or efficiency. I miss my cruise ship already!

Athletic events at the #Panathenaia were held in three age categories: boys from 12-16 years of age, ephebes / youths of 16-20 years and men over 20. Today, on day 3 of the Panathenaia, the athletic competitions for the men would have been held. This year is a year of the "Lesser Panathenaia" or Panathenaia ta Mikra, so I am not certain how long the Games were during the Lesser Panathenaia. Since it's still a 7 day event, maybe the competitors were just from Athens?
