Thessaloniki to host Mesolonghi historical exhibition

The Museum of the Macedonian Struggle and the Historical Museum ‘Diexodos’ of Mesolonghi are collaborating to present an exhibition titled ‘Mesolonghi 1826–2026. Exodus: Journey towards Freedom’. The event commemorates the 200th anniversary of the historic Exodus of Mesolonghi.

Under the auspices of President Konstantinos Tassoulas, the exhibition will feature a combination of historical relics and contemporary artworks. On display will be 19th-century jewelry, clothing, Philhellenic evidence, and everyday objects from the museum's collections. These items will be presented alongside works by established artists, including Giannis Adamakis, Stefanos Daskalakis, and others, to explore how this Greek Revolution event continues to inspire modern artistic creation.

The opening ceremony is scheduled for Friday, October 30, 2026, at the ‘Alexandros Haitoglou’ multi-purpose hall in Thessaloniki, with Deputy Minister of the Interior Kostas Gioulekas expected to attend.
