We are really happy to be able to celebrate today the International Museum Day 2021 at the Natural History Museum of the Lesvos Petrified Forest, together with the public, after a few days of its reopening.

This year’s theme “The Future of Museums: Recover and Reimagine” reminds us that the time is now for museums to rethink their relationship with the communities they serve, to experiment with new and hybrid models of cultural fruition and to strongly reaffirm the essential value of museums for the construction of a just and sustainable future.

Stay tuned for the rebooting activities of the Natural History Museum of the Lesvos Petrified Forest!
