Art from the Outskirts

This PBS Nova presentation takes the viewer into the intriguing idea that Greece’s Parthenon was built to minimize the brain’s tendency toward optical illusions and stand as a rock among pebbles.

Secrets of the Parthenon is a Providence Pictures production for Nova and WGBH Boston in association with Studio International and ARTE France. Funding for Nova is provided by David H. Koch, the Howard Hughes Medical Institute, the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, and public television viewers. Additional funding for Secrets of the Parthenon is provided by The Solow Art and Architecture Foundation.

Illusions are from the Outskirts
