iThe Benaki Museum of Greek Culture occupies the Benakis family mansion at Koumbari and Vasilissis Sofias, and holds the collections Antonis Benakis began in 1930. Its permanent display follows Greek art and daily life from prehistoric and Byzantine times through the Ottoman period to the 20th century. Temporary exhibitions run alongside, and it is one of several Benaki Museum sites in Athens.

Seventeen works lent by the UK Government Art Collection, including Thomas Phillips’s portrait of Lord Byron, hung within the permanent display.

Sephardic and Romaniote costumes and objects of worship from the 17th to early 20th century, added to the permanent display.

Odysseas Fokas’s Autumn Landscape and Georgios Roilos’s The Army Officer, shown in the mansion’s reception area.

Benaki objects shown beside their reproductions in the pages of Cahiers d’Art, with an immersive video installation by Natalia Papadopoulou.
