The art of ancient Greece has exercised an enormous influence on the culture of many countries from ancient times until the present, particularly in sculpture and architecture.

In the East, Alexander the Great's conquests initiated several centuries of exchange between Greek, Central Asian and Indian cultures, resulting in Greco-Buddhist art, with ramifications as far as Japan.
