Having as a basis the initial concept of the exhibition, the entities and the rectangular multi-use hall of the Museum of Marble Crafts, the emphasis in the setup was to provide the optimum flow for the visitors, in order to have good viewing of the exhibits, good access to the explanatory panels and the interactive media that provide all the information for Myrtis.

The basic idea was to create a core in the center of the area, much as was done in the Goulandris Museum. But having limited width, the core had to split up, creating a small unit, which includes the introductory and archaeological entities and was placed parallel to the grid of the building, and a larger one that includes all the other entities of the exhibition placed centrally at an angle.

This has resulted in the creation of a portal, a space in the space, and corridors between vertical and deviation axes between the exhibition walls. The angled central unit allowed the creation of free areas on the key points of the exhibition, where the visitors can linger and watch more closely without disturbing the flow, getting crowded or having to change course to continue.

Another difference from previous exhibitions, is the placement of a new element where the monitor with the speech of Prof. Manolis Papagrigorakis is placed. It is an independent element is placed in such a way as to have an exhibition dialogue with the medical entity located opposite it.

Then, after the presentation of the reconstruction phases of the skull in the plateau area with the largest capacity to hold visitors, there is placed the main exhibit, MYRTIS .
Finally, following the same circular flow, the visitors get out from the gate and are led towards the exit.
