An exhibition titled "Heaven and Earth: Art of Byzantium from Greek Collections" is expected to
travel to the United States in the weeks to come, containing some 300 masterpieces from Greek museums, public and
private collections and monasteries, as well as finds from recent
excavations; it is going to be shown first at the National Gallery of Art
in Washington DC
(October 6, 2013 – March 2, 2014), followed by the J. Paul Getty Museum
at the Getty Villa in Malibu, California (April 9–August 25, 2014).
The
exhibition wants to familiarize the American public with the Hellenic
civilization throughout the Byzantine era, and will thus cover all
periods of Byzantine history, from 330 to 1453 AD; it is expected that
it will
comprise five unities,
titled From the Ancient to the Byzantine World, The Christian World, The
Intellectuals, The Joys of Life and Byzantium at a Crossroads.
