Deputy Minister of Culture Vasiliki Kassianidou emphasized the importance of digitization in protecting cultural heritage, stating that new technology is crucial for documenting, protecting, and recovering stolen cultural property. Over the past 36 months, 96,000 ancient objects in state museums have been digitized as part of a project that began in May 2021, aiming to digitize all objects exhibited in museum exhibitions under the department of antiquities’ responsibility. Since 2009, over 100,000 movable finds, 3,581 archaeological surveys, and 1,641 ancient monuments have been digitized.
