Art in Gold

Celebrating Hellenistic Jewelry at the Benaki Museum

The Benaki Museum’s exhibition “Art in Gold – Jewelry in the Hellenistic Period” pays tribute to the artistry of Hellenistic jewelry. Running from November 13, 2024, to April 27, 2025, this showcase explores how the cultural exchanges initiated by Alexander the Great’s conquests influenced craftsmanship.

Visitors will encounter intricate pieces that exemplify the fusion of Greek tradition with Eastern and Egyptian aesthetics. Advanced goldsmith techniques, such as filigree and granulation, added elegance to the era’s designs. Necklaces, earrings, diadems, and other ornate items reflect not only beauty but also status, power, and spiritual significance.

This exhibit invites attendees into the opulent world of Hellenistic society, where jewelry was more than adornment—it represented artistic brilliance and social influence. The display at the Benaki Museum highlights the continuity of Greek craftsmanship and its historical impact, linking the past’s splendor with contemporary admiration. It offers an excellent opportunity for historians, art enthusiasts, and the public to appreciate the creativity and technological expertise that defined this golden age of jewelry.
