Benaki Museum Highlights: Must-See Features and Attractions
Some information may have been translated by Google Translate
The Benaki Museum is a comprehensive cultural relic museum in Greece, mainly collecting cultural relics from countries and regions along the Mediterranean Sea. It was developed gradually on the basis of the cultural relics that Antonine Benaki accumulated over 35 years. They were originally displayed in Benaki's private residence. In 1931 he donated these relics to the state, and the museum was named after him. Later, the museum received other gifts and enrichments, and the exhibits are abundant, and now it is divided into more than 20 exhibition halls. There are Chinese pottery, Persian silk, embroidery from Greek islands, Greek folk crafts, and even diamond earrings from the Queen of Sweden.

The Benaki Museum is a private museum founded by the Benaki family. The museum is rich in collections, especially exhibits of traditional Greek folk customs, including clothing, jewelry, interior decoration and so on. The exhibitions are a collection of stories about the evolution of Greek life. After reading this part of the exhibition, people have a more understanding of the culture of the entire Greek nation.
Very amazing private collection. In addition to European antiques, I also saw Chinese porcelain, which was very kind.
All about the ancient art of Athens as the theme museum, you can visit for free, all free activities, many sculptures are well preserved in the early days, the art museum is very attractive to foreign tourists, can see a lot of things.
The Benaki Museum is one of the most prestigious private museums. The collection is also very rich. The architectural space is gorgeous. Especially considerate is that a gift shop is set up in the lobby on the first floor.
