Prytaneion
Backing on to the bouleuterion, one alley away from Diana’s temple, is another monument whose function is not clear. Its facade, facing west, was adorned with a colonnade of marble columns surmounted by Corinthian capitals giving on to a large hall. Excavations conducted in 1960 brought to light a total of eleven sculptures dating back to the 2nd and the 3rd century AD, the majority of which seem to represent top officials. It is thus thought that this building served as the prytaneion, the seat of the city’s highest officials.

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.
