Collections
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.
