The culture and differentiality of the ancient cities of Athens and Sparta are being presented to the American public from Tuesday, in a "unique exhibition,", as described by Greek Culture Minister George Voulgarakis, during a press conference on Monday at the Cultural Centre of the Alexander S. Onassis Benefit Foundation, in Manhattan.

Voulgarakis congratulated the Onassis Foundation, particularly its president Antonis Papadimitriou, as well as the National Archaeological Museum, noting that the exhibition, like others which have been presented by the Onassis Foundation, contribute in the direction of the projection of Greece's culture.

"For the first time, two magnificent cities of antiquity are being projected in a modern multicultural city," said Voulgarakis, noting that "the best ambassador of Greece is its culture."
