A MUSEUM IS BORN

I was looking up at the Hadjikyriakos-Gika building at number 3 Kriezotou Street which had been beautifully renovated. The door was open and I entered. Boxes, paintings, sculptures, and workers were coming and going and among them stood the director of the Benaki Museum, Mr. Angelos Delivorrias. “Can I turn on my camera?” I asked. With a smile, he answered “yes”. And that is how I began my journey into the interwar years, together with the major Greek artists of that timewhose works will be housed in this new museum.
