Tribute to Lord Byron: “…Where grew the arts of war and peace…”
The Philhellenism Museum and the War Museum, within the context of the year “2024, Year of Lord Byron and Philhellenism”, are co-organizing an important group exhibition, with the participation of 50 Greek visual artists, entitled: “…Where grew the arts of war and peace…”.
This year’s bicentenary of the death of Lord Byron is a point of reference for 50 distinguished Greek artists, who honour the great romantic poet and Philhellene with their artworks.
The historic foyer of the War Museum’s Amphitheatre will host for the coming months, a multi-layered visual tribute to Lord Byron that encourages us to discover his worldwide glory in relation to his passionate love for Greece and Freedom.
