ΟCollectors’ Stories: Athena and Athens, 1834

Paintings, artworks, and historical heirlooms from the collection of Michael Scoullos form a public testimony of a city reconstructed through its rare visual imprints, in an exhibition curated by Louiza Karapidaki.

Through the careful curation and dedication of the collector, and with a focus on Athens from the time it became the capital of the newly established Greek state, the exhibition invites visitors to explore the landscapes, people, and rhythms of the city. These are depicted on the canvases of prominent Greek and foreign painters, as well as in memorabilia and keepsakes.
