The Myth of the Golden Fleece

The Golden Fleece, the title motif of the Georgia exhibition, derives from the oldest accounts of Greek mythology. It is an extraordinary tale of the mad courage of a few dozen Greek adventurers lured by tales of a land where the golden fleece (undoubtedly synonymous with greater riches) was stored. The heroes set out into the unknown in the hope of reaching this mythical place and capturing this gold. Imagine how ancient those times were, when even to the Greeks the Black Sea seemed to be a body of water of unrecognised size, and the lands to the north of it remained unknown. In ancient times, this story was mentioned by Homer in the Odyssey and by Pindar in his Fourth Pythian Ode.

“CULTURE BEYOND BORDERS” | “კულტურა საზღვრებს მიღმა” - the Polish-Georgian museum collaboration project

The core assumption of the project is the preparation and implementation of the “Cultural Institution Management Academy” program which will make it possible to create a platform for exchange of experience and best practices between Polish and Georgian cultural institutions. The project will enable to share knowledge about standards which have been developed, solutions for strategic operational areas for museums, museum management processes and the preservation and promotion of cultural heritage.
