Asia Minor: Splendour – Destruction – Uprooting – Creation

On the occasion of the 100th anniversary of the Asia Minor Catastrophe, the Benaki Museum and the Centre for Asia Minor Studies presented the history of Asia Minor Hellenism through a commemorative exhibition at the Benaki Museum, Pireos Building.
This narrative is recorded in the exhibition catalogue through works of art, icons, ecclesiastical, military, and personal relics, garments, jewelry, handicrafts, maps, photographs, archival and film material, newspapers, letters, postcards, and many other documents.
Within the pages of the book come to life the flourishing of Hellenism before the persecutions, the dramatic years 1919–1923, and the subsequent settlement and integration of the refugees in Greece.
