Benaki Museum
Greece's finest private museum contains the vast collection
of Antonis Benakis, accumulated during 35 years of avid
collecting in Europe and Asia. In 1931 he turned the family
house into a museum and presented it to the Greek nation.
The collection displays an astounding breadth: Bronze Age
finds from Mycenae and Thessaly; works by El Greco; ec-
clesiastical furniture brought from Asia Minor; pottery,
copper, silver and woodwork from Egypt, Asia Minor and
Mesopotamia; and a stunning collection of Greek regional
costumes.
