The program of the Goulandris Museum for International Museum Day 18 May 2023 is as follows:

• "Spring" Concert of the string orchestra De Profundis, 20.00-21.00
The De Profundis string orchestra performs works by Erlebach, Händel, Lully and Vivaldi, in a special concert that celebrates spring, the time when nature is reborn and reaches its peak.
From Erlebach's Germany to Händel's England and from Lully's France to Vivaldi's Italy, the concert program includes works from the Baroque era, alongside arias from operas inspired by mythology and the passions of gods and men. The concert closes with Vivaldi's Spring, in a literal and metaphorical approach to the time when nature awakens and man finds himself in harmony with his body and the environment.

• Creative workshop for 3-4 year olds, 17:00-18:00
In the workshop "One window, one story!" children aged 3-4 explore and interpret, together with the rest of the group, the work of the creator Aris Koutroulis and are then invited to create their own story through the upcycling technique. The aim of the workshop is for the children to receive the corresponding stimuli to create their own stories and then try to bring them to life through a variety of recyclable materials and techniques.
