SMYRNA

Σμύρνη
Smyrna was Hellenism's world-famous city, almost replacing Constantinople as a collective trauma in collective memory.

In the exhibition "Smyrna, the City of the Postcards and Post Offices", the city is presented through the operation of the post offices. Despite the fragmentary nature of the exhibits, both everyday life and the town's historical course unfold through the presence/testimony of the Post Office, always focusing on Hellenism until the destruction of Smyrna.

The exhibition is based on the collections of the Philatelic and Postal Museum and mainly on the donation of S. Nikolaidis, with special emphasis on the documentation of the material.
