Cultural Dismay

As a child, I looked at books with pictures of the Acropolis, and statues of the Greek Gods. I didn’t know at the time I was going to enjoy the creative process, but I surely never believed I would have seen this art close up.  I made it to Greece this last year. Making my way up the hill to the Acropolis the walls were sprayed with graffiti. Some of what is in this painting. When I visited the National Archaeological Museum the smell of urine lingered in the air. The museum itself was unkempt. Was I disappointed? A bit. Not in the art, but that a culture would not realize what they have is precious.
