BENAKI MUSEUM OF GREEK CULTURE
Close Ups
The CLOSE UPS video series highlights fascinating stories behind objects at the Benaki Museum, as well as the people associated with them. It is an initiative deriving from our strong wish to remain close to the public during the museum lockdown due to the pandemic, until we meet again at the Benaki Museum.
