Stoa B
The large Stoa is the best preserved monument of the classical Greek time and was used up to the second Century AD. Archaeologists claim that the Stoa was especially important in the life of Apollonia because it could look out over the whole area due to its prime location in the centre.
It is about 75m long, with a twin series of marble columns running from north to south, with 17 insets for the display of statues. The lower floor has a perimeter of Dorian columns, while the upper floor was supported by Ionic columns.
It dates from the 3C AD and is an outstanding axample of late-imperial stoa design and construction , and evokes perfectly the mercantile atmosphere and wealth af the ancient city.
For what was the theater, a hill side was excavated and an artificial dam which was created on the north western side. In late antiquity, the theatre was abandoned, and the church of Saint Mary was built in its place using stone blocks from the seats. The theater could give place to 7.000 spectators. It dated from Hellenic time but was rebuilt by the Romans.

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.
