Aspects of Armenian Art from the Kalfayan Collection

11.06.2010 - 10.10.2010

The Museum of Byzantine Culture in Thessaloniki presented the collection of Armenian art of Kalfayan family. The centuries-old coexistence of Greeks and Armenians in Asia Minor and the common history of the two people is one of the major reasons that led to the realization of this exhibition. The collection, which was first presented to the public, focused on Armenian art from the late 16th to the 19th century and consisted of artefacts of great importance both because of their rarity and the historical period to which they belong.
