With so many institutions contributing to this exhibition, hundreds or even thousands of visitors are expected to attend. The exhibition will be held under the auspices of Greek President Karolos Papoulias and his German counterpart Joachim Gauck. 

This Berlin-based exhibition is one of the biggest ever organized, focusing exclusively on ancient Olympia, its history and culture.
