An original exhibition, which for the first time combines unique works of art from Ancient and Contemporary Greece, will take place at the Museum of Fine Arts in Brussels (commonly known as Bozar). The exhibition is titled: "Nautilus: Navigating Greece," (see below) running from January 24 to April 27, 2014, and it examines the intimate relationship between the Greeks and the Mediterranean Sea trough the ages. With the sea as connecting thread, the exhibition highlights the interplay between nature, culture, identity, adventure, politics, religion and most of all mobility in all its forms (immigration, travel, trade etc).

The exhibition is organized in the context of the Greek Presidency of the Council of the European Union. It includes almost 100 ancient artifacts (bronze and marble sculptures, frescoes, coins, vases and ceramic vessels) from more than 30 Greek museums.

Notably some of these artifacts are displayed outside Greece for the first time. The time span extends from Cycladic (3000 B. C.), Minoan and Mycenaean art, to the archaic, classical and Hellenistic periods, ending with the Greco-Roman world (200 A. D.). Furthermore, within the exhibition space, Antiquity converses with contemporary art, involving 23 works including photographs, paintings, and video art. The Bozar is organizing this display in cooperation with the Hellenic Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Ministry of Culture and Sports.
