Greece: Secrets of the Past has concluded its run at the Science Museum of Minnesota.

The Omnitheater's nine story domed screen transports you back in time to the dawn of democracy and the birthplace of western civilization in Greece: Secrets of the Past.

This giant screen journey takes viewers to the world-famous island chain of Santorini, where a thriving society was buried in 1646 BC by one of the most powerful volcanic eruptions in known history. Explore an active excavation site near Akrotiri, where well-preserved ruins of a Bronze Age Greek civilization are hidden beneath volcanic ash. Delve into the sparkling Aegean Sea and learn about its role in the birth of democracy. And get a look at what the city of Athens—and its famous Parthenon—would have looked like in all its glory. Greece gives viewers the chance to explore the ascension of Greece's legendary Golden Age and leaves them wondering what its rise and fall might mean for civilization today.
