Ένα από τα πιο συγκλονιστικά θέματα στην επιστήμη της ενδυματολογίας είναι η μελέτη των εκκλησιαστικών ενδυμάτων, που συνήθως διατηρούν σχήματα του παρελθόντος. Η έκθεση, "Άμφια, το ένδυμα της Ορθόδοξης Εκκλησίας" είναι η πρώτη με παρόμοιο θέμα που γίνεται στην Ελλάδα, με την ευκαιρία των 25 χρόνων από την ίδρυση του Π.Λ.Ι. και την 53η διεθνή συνάντηση του Ενδυματολογικού Τμήματος του ICOM. Ευχαριστούμε θερμά την αποκλειστική χορηγό της έκθεσης Καρέλια Α.Ε., τα μουσεία που συμμετείχαν, το Μουσείο Μπενάκη που διέθεσε γι' αυτό το σκοπό τις πλούσιες συλλογές του και παραχώρη...

History, theology, worship, monasticism and art join in harmonious consort to shed glorious light on orthodoxy' s precious countenance, and to uplift its crucial mission in the new century an...

When I was writing the first short guide to the Benaki Museum, in 1980, I had to make an almost superhuman effort to articulate a vast material into discrete chapters with a comprehensive and coherent line of reasoning. At that time the arrangement of the objects in the Museum was based on the principle of exhibition units by kind, which was, of course, completely contrary to my own views and vision. Today, after the enlargement of the Museum's premises and the radical remodeling of the original building, but above all the reorientation of the Museum's aims and the fundamen...

The cultural heritage of every country ,- its monuments and works of art, embodies the inte1lectual presence and the power of the people that created it. Its property is the common property of mankind. Indeed, in an era in which Europe seeks union through freedom, the cultural heritage of the European peoples and its effective protection are part of the identity of our continent and the creative power of its people, an essential component of our future union, a common possession and legacy .

This "Mythological atlas of Greece", designed for journeys, leads us to mountains, rivers and landscapes, which in another age - when man was aware that everything is full of gods" - were treated as divine.
