The President of the Hellenic Parliament and of its Foundation for Parliamentarism and Democracy Constantine Tassoulas on Thursday evening inaugurated the exhibition ‘Greek Parliament: Milestones in history nearly 200 years old’, held at the Foundation’s exhibition hall, ANA reports.
Through rare historical items and audiovisual material, the show presents a narrative of almost two centuries of Greek parliamentary life, starting at the first national assemblies after the 1821 Greek War of Independence and continuing through the consolidation of parliamentary democracy (1862-1914), the crises of the interwar period, the takeover by the military junta in 1967, and the restoration of democracy in 1974 to the present.
The Hellenic Parliament Foundation’s exhibition hall is located at 11 Vasilissis Sofias, but the entrance is from the adjacent Sekeri Street (across from the Hellenic Parliament building).
Until it concludes in fall 2020, the exhibit will be open daily 9.00-16.00, except for Thursdays & Fridays (9.00-20.00) and weekends (10.00-15.00).
