Gods and Mortals at Olympus: Ancient Dion, City of Zeus showcases Dion's daily, cultural, and religious life in an exhibition for audiences of all ages.

Never before seen in the USA, mosaics, statues, and other fascinating artifacts, unearthed at the site through systematic and scientific excavations spanning four decades, as well as striking images and insightful videos of the city's ruins and landscapes immerse the visitor in the natural environment of Dion, and bring the ancient city to life. The exhibition is curated by Dimitrios Pandermalis, president of the Acropolis Museum and director of the excavations at Dion since 1973.
