An exhibition entitled “The Greeks: Art Treasures from the Benaki Museum, Athens” was inaugurated last week at the Calouste Gulbenkian Museum in Lisbon. The exhibition comprises 157 rare works from the Athens museum’s collection, which highlight the unbroken Greek presence from the beginnings of prehistoric times up to the Classical and Hellenistic periods, from the Roman up to Byzantine era, and from the centuries of foreign rule up to the 1821 Revolution, as well as the founding of the modern Greek state.
DF: The Benaki is one of our favorite museums, and we love the fact that they are creating traveling exhibits for more of the world to see its beautiful collections
