A floating museum on board a ship travelling between ports of the Mediterranean, which will include an exhibition on underwater archaeological discoveries of the Mediterranean Sea, was an idea examined during a meeting held at the Aegean and Island Policy General Secretariat on Tuesday.

The idea was initiated in Venice by "Art Culture Med" and the General Secretariat for the Aegean and Island Policy has taken its implementation under its aegis. Interest in the project has so far been expressed by the Venice UNESCO office and the Council of Europe.

There will follow a meeting of all the Greek and Italian organisations that have expressed interest in participating, to be held in Venice, where a bilateral agreement for the implementation of the project will be signed by Greece and Italy.
