The Louvre Museum has agreed to the reproduction of one of its most prized posessions – the Nike of Samothrace (Winged Victory of Samothrace). Two replicas will be made following the initiative of Eastern Macedonia and Thrace Prefect George Pavlidis who stressed the statue’s significance to the cultural heritage of Samothrace.

The Louvre museum in Paris, France invites its visitors to rediscover the Winged Victory of Samothrace in an exhibition which opened yesterday and is scheduled to run until June 15.

This emblematic statue, the most famous exhibit at the Louvre, is again visible after a year of restoration.

Less than a year after it was removed for restoration, the Winged Victory of Samothrace is back on its pedestal in the Louvre Museum in Paris.
