The top of the hill, 104 meters high,was where the Temple of Apollowas located, surrounded by adecorative wall, which confined thesacred area of the city, Temenos.The wall is still well-preserved on itssouthern side, where is located the monumental entrance with thetypical Apollonian arch. On the left side of the entrance it could benoted the earliest age of the wall dating to the 5th century BC. Madeof either sandstone or limestone blocks, the wall is distinguished forits quadrate shape. Over those are quite visible two symbols, lettersD (delta) and A (alpha), combined with a monogram.

This exhibition is a rare chance to experience two of Yayoi Kusama’s Infinity Mirror Rooms. These immersive installations will transport you into Kusama’s unique vision of endless reflections.
Infinity Mirrored Room – Filled with the Brilliance of Life is one of Kusama’s largest installations to date and was made for her 2012 retrospective at the gallery. It is shown alongside Chandelier of Grief, a room which creates the illusion of a boundless universe of rotating crystal chandeliers.
A small presentation of photographs – some on display for the first time – provides historical context for the global phenomenon that Kusama’s mirrored rooms have become today.
