In Makrygialo, Pieria, the Visitable Museum Storage turns the usual museum experience inside out: here the storage itself is the exhibit. Rather than a curated display, you encounter artefacts as they are actually kept for study and preservation, shelved and labelled, awaiting their turn in the hands of archaeologists. The arrangement is purely practical, yet the effect is oddly intimate, as though you have stepped behind the scenes of conservation. It offers a rare, honest glimpse into how the past is cared for between excavation and exhibition.
