The Thessaloniki Museum of Photography offers its visitors the opportunity to tour the exhibition “Shared Sacred Sites”, following a journey through geographies and communities of shared sacred places by the three monotheistic religions in the Balkans and the Mediterranean, through contemporary photographs and historical material.
The guide tours will take place on Saturday 11/11, 18/11, 2/12 and 16/12, at 12:00, by the exhibition curator Stergios Karavatos and the Head of the Educational Programs of the ThMP, Maria Kokorotsou.

A journey through geographies and communities of shared sacred places
The exhibition at the Thessaloniki Museum of Photography unfolds in eight sections, where three distinct levels of photographic narration, one historic, one purely documentative and one artistic, are interwoven. We travel in regions where geography, history and tradition, social conditions and mixed communities crafted unique examples of cohabitation, of shared sacred sites and practices among groups of different religions.
