Beholding Liberty

Beholding Liberty is an exhibition that set out to familiarize visitors with the events that led to the Greek people obtaining their freedom. It started in May of 2021, 200 years after the Greek Revolution of 1821, as an anniversary event and is taking place in the Hellenic Parliament. It showcases artifacts through which guests can better understand the importance of the revolution and the deep meanings of liberty.

The central part of the exhibition is the murals that adorn the walls of certain rooms of the Parliament building. They present focal events of diplomatic and historical interest, as well as prominent figures of the revolution. Additionally, one will discover a variety of weapons, documents and other objects, specifically including 367 artifacts, many coming from personal collections. As an introduction, visitors can explore the reasons and ways the revolution came to be and the factors that made it flourish.
