ELEFSINA – RAW MUSEUM

Temporary Exhibition @ Benaki Museum, Peiraios 138

Mystery_29 Elefsina Raw Museum exhibition is the first of three emblematic projects
of 2023 Eleusis European Capital of Culture,
focusing on the contemporary and unknown history of the city.

An exploration of the fragments making up the phenomenon known as ELEFSINA,
a journey through its micro-history, industrial development, sorely-tried work reality,
its connection with arts and Aeschylus, whose birthplace it is.
A discovery of its uniqueness and Mysteries via personal stories
in the form of speaking portraits of Elefsinians and other individuals whose lives
were associated with the city,
as well as rare objects coming from the Benaki Museum collections
and private collections exhibited here for the first time.
The exhibition is combined with famous historical representations of the Elefsinian landscape,
from the 19th c. to this date, and with photographs documenting the locals’ daily life
in the last 100 years, as seen through family archives.
Excerpts from texts and poems written to honour the city by representatives
of the worldwide intelligentsia are paired with the nearly 300 exhibits
forming the Raw Museum of Elefsina.
