Για το Μουσείο Μπενάκη ο χρόνος είναι μια έννοια σχετική, επειδή στη λογική που διέπει το σκεπτικό του συνυφαίνονται, νομοτελειακά θα τολμούσα να πω, το παρελθόν και το παρόν με το νόημα του μέλλοντος. Το ίδιο θα έλεγα για το σχετικό επίσης αντίβαρο της έννοιας του χώρου, μια και το γεωγραφικό ανάπτυγμα του μουσειακού περιεχομένου αγκαλιάζει ισότιμα την τωρινή ιστορική τοπική πραγματικότητα με την ευρωπαϊκή της διάσταση και την οικουμενική της προοπτική. Έτσι και η συνάντηση του Γιάννη Τσαρούχη με τη Lila de Nobili, ένα εξαιρετικά σημαντικό πολιτιστικό γεγονός αποκαταστημέ...

The mural mosaics of Thessaloniki are masterpieces of Byzantine art, of major historical and artistic importance. Nonetheless, they have not received the attention and enhancement they deserve, so as to make them accessible both to the general public and to specialist scholars. Old photographs of them continue to be reproduced and used. In the early twentieth century, during the Balkan wars and the First World war, Thessaloniki was epicentre of military operations and political formentations. In this period there was intense international scientific interest in the city's B...

The Museum of Marble Crafts on Tinos has been created I with much love and great care and attention. To this contributed a happy coincidence of circumstances, which allowed the Piraeus Bank Croup Cultural Foundation, the Region of the South Aegean, the external collaborators and the local society to work together in an extraordinary climate of mutual goodwill and common conception. The result is a modern pole of attraction for the island's visitors, as well as for its inhabitants of all ages: schoolchildren, young people and Tinians of the older generation. Our aim is fo...

Whoever has travelled knows that all places are, in the last analysis, what each of us projects upon them. 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. After six years of intensive fieldwork and exhaustive study of the sources, the Spanish Hellenist, Pedro Olalla and Road Editions present to travellers-lovers of Greek myths, the "Mythological atlas of Greece", the first book in which the geography of Greek mytholo...

Ο κατάλογος εκδόθηκε με αφορμή την έκθεση "Nonda. Έξι δεκαετίες τέχνης, 1940-2000", Μουσείο Μπενάκη, Κτήριο οδού Πειραιώς, 14 Δεκεμβρίου 2006 - 8 Φεβρουαρίου 2007. [...] Ξεκινώ το κείμενό μου με την εξής παρατήρηση: η περίπτωση του ζωγράφου Επαμεινώνδα Παπαδόπουλου (Nonda) δεν καταγράφεται σε καμία από τις κυκλοφορούσες ιστορίες της νεοελληνικής τέχνης. Μόνη εξαίρεση η εντελώς πρόσφατη "Ιστορία των Ελλήνων" των εκδόσεων Τεγόπουλου - Μανιατέα (τομ. 14, 580). Άρα η πρωτοβουλία του Μουσείου Μπενάκη να οργανώσει αναδρομική παρουσίαση του έργου του λειτουργεί συγχρόνως και ως...

Olympia was personified as a very beautiful woman with lovely eyes, Grecian nose, and small mouth with pursed lips. Her long wavy hair was drawn back into a chignon at the nape of her neck. This is how she is represented on a coin of Elis, dated to 364 BC, with her name inscribed on the flan, in front of her face: ΟΛΥΜΠΙΑ. The beauty of Olympia on the coin is comparable to the beauty of the landscape surrounding the site. Rolling hills co-vered with pine woods, small plains planted with vines and olive trees, and stately cypresses surround the area where the Alpheios and K...

Τhe Acropolis through its Museum is not simply a guidebook to the Acropolis Museum. By presenting the works of art exhibited in the museum, it endeavours to resynthesize the history of the Sacred Rock as part of the cultural and the wider historical process of Athens. The book follows the visitor’s tour of the museum, so that the reader can study and learn more about the antiquities he sees before him. However, it is written is such a way that through independent inquiry the reader is able to approach the subjects more deeply and to understand the preconditions – political,...

The Aegean, an integral part of Hellenism for six thousand years, because of its geographical position and physical formation with its hundreds of various-sized islands forming a marvelous unity beginning at the coast of mainland Greece and stretching to the shores of Asia Minor, Crete and Cyprus, has always been a bridge carrying messages from one continent to another, a cradle of civilizations and a source of inspiration and creativity. A Greek sea par excellence, the Aegean founded and defended its own civilization - a civilization that was later bequeathed to the world....
