The National Historical Museum reopens its doors to the public on Tuesday, June 16 2020.
Formation of the Sculpture Collection commenced from the founding of the HESG
Innovative and Affordable Service for the Preventive Conservation Monitoring of Individual Cultural Artefacts during Display, Storage, Handling, and Transport.
The Collection numbers about 2,000 objects, which fall into two main categories:
The Collection consists of about 200 historical pieces of furniture, of Greek and European manufacture and provenance, which belonged to eminent personalities of Hellenism in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries.
The Collection includes about 500 compositions by Greek and foreign artists, and sets of works.
The Collection is made up of some 6,000 representative examples of Neohellenic folk art, spanning the period from the second half of the 18th to the end of the 20th c.
The Collection of 1,500 objects – gifts and purchases – of defensive and offensive weaponry and military armour, from the fourteenth to the twentieth century, began to be formed in 1882.
There are some 250 flags, Greek and foreign, in the Collection. Its nucleus is flags of the 1821 War of Independence, which, before the fire in 1909, adorned the Trophy Hall in the Old Palace.
The Collection has resulted from gifts of private citizens and select purchases. Today it numbers about 700 items made from clay, porcelain and glass.
