Megara Hybla

About

Traces of ancient pottery, rising among the alleys where the golden light of Augusta flows, seem as if the life of a distant, foreign land that once crossed the sea still lingers there. The sculptures and relics displayed here are painted terracotta from ancient Greece, and the moment light passes over them, shadow and form seep across their surface. Within a faint shadow, as if the face of a king engraved on the reverse of a coin awakens alone, a moment of stillness flows, seeming to gaze upon the past. The sea floating within the landscape and the traces of the ancient city stand, unwavering in balance, within the sculptures and relics, like an island time has cast upon the shore. Those who visit this museum feel a sensation as if walking upon fleeting waves, quietly sensing the breath of people from long ago.
