Study Archaeology and History of Western Jewelry in Athens

Join the Athens experience at one of the world’s leading institutions for jewelry in a two week long summer school program. The Ilias Lalaounis Jewelry Museum based in Athens, Greece will challenge students to discover the fascinating world of Ancient Greece and the history of western jewelry through its most spectacular artifacts.

The program includes at least 45 hours of instruction that consist of classes, lectures and study visits. Classes cover the history of jewelry from glorious Classical Greece to amazing contemporary artistic productions.

Lectures are presented by academics that will draw on issues such as illicit trafficking of cultural artifacts, architectural changes in growing cities and challenges of artistic production over fashion design.
