Abstract The National Archaeological Museum of Athens, the Byzantine and Christian Museum, the Benaki Museum of Greek Culture and the Museum of Cycladic Art are among the finest museums in Greece. Their permanent collections include splendid, important works of art and rare everyday objects that, arranged chronologically, represent the evolution of life and history in the Greek peninsula from prehistory to the 20th century. While these museums display artefacts from different eras and communities, they fail to shed light on gender issues and to tell inclusive stories. Even though many of the objects within their permanent collections belonged to women, were made by or for women, and depict women, very little is said of their lives and social roles within their respective societies. This paper examines how and whether the four aforementioned museums tell stories of women by examining different elements within their exhibitions (objects, thematic sections, texts, images, etc.), then suggesting new, feminist perspectives and approaches for considering them. By drawing attention to history’s overlooked women and celebrating their lives, we suggest how treasuries of Greek civilisation might also become sites of social inclusion, diversity, and equity.

隐藏在普通视线中：在希腊博物馆中寻找女性和她们的故事

摘要 雅典国家考古博物馆、拜占庭和基督教博物馆、贝纳基希腊文化博物馆和基克拉迪艺术博物馆是希腊最好的博物馆之一。他们的永久收藏品包括辉煌的、重要的艺术作品和稀有的日常物品，按时间顺序排列，代表了希腊半岛从史前到 20 世纪的生活和历史演变。虽然这些博物馆展示了来自不同时代和社区的文物，但它们未能阐明性别问题并讲述包容性的故事。尽管他们永久收藏中的许多物品属于女性，由女性或为女性制作并描绘女性，但很少提及她们在各自社会中的生活和社会角色。本文通过检查展览中的不同元素（对象、主题部分、文本、图像等）来检验上述四个博物馆如何以及是否讲述女性的故事，然后提出新的女性主义观点和方法来考虑它们。通过关注历史上被忽视的女性并庆祝她们的生活，我们建议希腊文明的宝库也可能成为社会包容、多样性和公平的场所。
