Sephardic and Romaniote costumes now sit inside the Benaki's account of the Greek lands under Ottoman rule, alongside the Christian, Armenian and Muslim material that already tells that story. The museum's point is that these communities shared daily life, used the same artisans and workshops, and often picked the same decorative motifs, while religion kept them distinct.

The loans come from the Jewish Museum of Greece, whose own building on Nikis Street is closed for renovation; its other temporary show, "Like Hunted Birds", is at the Bathhouse of the Winds in Plaka. Here you meet garments and ritual objects from the late 17th to the early 20th century as you walk the permanent collection.

Come for that thread through the collection's Ottoman centuries rather than a full history of Greek Jewry. Entry is in the standard museum ticket, €12 or €9 reduced, from tickets.benaki.org or at the door, and Thursdays run to midnight.
