Performing Arts Archives

The Benaki Museum’s Performing Arts Archive was set up in March 2005. Its purpose was to gather, index and classify all archives related to the performing arts. Significant original theatrical material had already been collected (set and costume designs, architectural drawings, correspondence, photographic material), as well as files related to the art of dance. The archive concentrates primarily on the evolution of the Greek performing arts during the 20th century.

The Benaki Museum’s Photographic Archives Department was established in 1973 to collect, preserve and document photographs of Early Christian, Byzantine and post-Byzantine art and architecture. Since then the Department’s original scope has gradually been extended to cover images of Greece and its culture, as well as its history and contemporary society.

The Benaki Museum’s Historical Archives constitute one of the best-organised and richest archival collections in Greece. It became an independent department of the Museum in 1955. Most of the archival material comes from Antonis Benakis’ personal collection, as well as from subsequent donations by private benefactors.

The Modern Greek Architecture Archives (M.G.A.A.) of the Benaki Museum were founded in April 1995. Their objective is to collect all the diverse material (drawings, notes, publications, photographs, models etc.) related to the architecture and urban design of the neohellenic state, from its establishment in 1828 until today. All this material is recorded and classified in order to make it accessible to researchers.
