Rule II permanently installed on Delos, Greece

The first contemporary artwork to be permanently exhibited in an archaeological site in Greece is a sculpture by Antony Gormley. It is located in the exterior space of the Archaeological Museum of Delos, following the completion of the first donation by the NEON organization to the Ministry of Culture.

The donation, a joint effort by NEON and Gormley, comes at the invitation of the Ministry of Culture and under the shared vision of enhancing public engagement with contemporary art in sites of global archaeological significance.

Rule II (2019) will remain permanently on the island as a reference point for the discourse between classical and contemporary culture.
