The Museum of Argo in Volos will exhibit the restored model of the legendary ship and present the Argonauts' epic journey. Additionally, the museum can join a global expertise network that is characterized by liquidity, volatility, and versatility. These features support digital technology and symbolize the concept of overshoot. Since the myth takes place in the Mediterranean Sea, connecting Europe, Asia, and Africa, the museum’s new structure reflects this connection through three symbolic rings.
To begin with, the ship’s structure and symbolism initiate this spatial experience. The sail’s shape generates the rings' geometry. As a result, three white rings interact to create a dynamic interplay of gapped and filled areas. Historically, ancient navigation depended on sea currents, which defined travel paths. Consequently, the hull forms a continuous section along these currents, establishing the museum’s main units. Therefore, visitors move through the museum along the wooden structure, mimicking a modern Argonaut’s voyage on Argo. Starting at the entrance, a ramp begins in the central foyer and spirals through all the exhibition areas before returning.
Moreover, descending into Argo’s space offers a changing experience, blending thematic units with the ship itself. As modern Argonauts, visitors ascend to a higher level above Argo, where dark wooden floors transport them onto the legendary ship. Here, they explore shipbuilding methods and try paddling with oars. Additionally, an interactive table illuminates constellations that guided the Argonauts. Visitors can identify and orient themselves using these constellations.
Furthermore, at the lower level, visitors move parallel to a shallow water surface, symbolizing the vast sea of Argo’s journey. A special glass panel represents the overshoot achieved when the Argonauts passed the Symplegades and saw the infinite ocean for the first time.
Thus, the Museum of Argo in Volos offers a unique experience that combines history, mythology, and modern interactive features. Through this design, visitors can explore the legendary voyage of the Argonauts and engage with the rich history of ancient navigation.
