Why our gallery is named “Minerva”? Our gallery takes its name from Minerva, the Roman virgin goddess of handicrafts, learning, and the arts. She embodies a rich tapestry of disciplines: poetry, medicine, wisdom, commerce, weaving, dyeing, crafts, magic, trade, and even war. Revered as the inventor of numbers and musical instruments, Minerva represents the boundless creativity and knowledge that inspire our mission. Often depicted with her sacred creature, the owl of Minerva, she is closely associated with wisdom. The owl remains a powerful symbol for us: watchful, thoughtful, and ever-curious.
