Benaki Museum is launching an online benefit auction of works of art on November 30 until December 14, it said on Thursday, ANA reports.
The auction will take place for the museum’s financial support, as most of Greece’s museums and cultural organizations are facing a funding shortfall in the wake of the coronavirus pandemic.
It will open on the date of the customary Benaki Annual Gala, which cannot be held this year due to the pandemic’s restrictions and is organized by the museum’s Fundraising & Development Department in collaboration with its Sustainability Volunteer Committee. The auction will open at 10:00 on Nov. 30 and end at 21:00 on Dec. 7. It will include over 240 works of art by 138 artists, and prices will start at 50 euros. The catalog of the exhibit is available as of today (Nov. 26) on the museum site, www.benaki.org.
