Explore the Benaki Museum - The Ghika Gallery, a lesser-visited branch devoted to modern Greek art. Climb through five floors of paintings, sculpture and rotating exhibitions.

📖

Full description

The Ghika Gallery is a Benaki Museum branch spread over five floors. The first three levels hold paintings and sculpture by the main modern Greek artists, while other floors present historical objects and temporary shows, such as an exhibition of dowry kilims from Geraki in Laconia.

Reviewers call the collection a pleasant surprise and mention spending a couple of hours inside. It draws fewer visitors than the main museum, giving a calm, focused visit centred on Greek art.
