The Victoria G. Karelias Collection of Traditional Greek Costumes once again takes part in the celebration of International Museum Day, which in 2026 is themed “Museums Bringing the World Together,” highlighting museums as meeting points for people and cultures, while contributing to dialogue, inclusion, and peaceful coexistence.
On the occasion of this celebration, the screening of the film *What Have We Done to Deserve This?* invites us to gather in the courtyard of the Collection, a place of culture and memory, to reflect with humor and tenderness on one of the most essential issues of our time: tolerance and respect for diversity.
The film uses comedy to shed light on stereotypes, prejudices and fears that often hide behind the façade of family “normality.” Through fast-paced dialogue, misunderstandings and situations balancing between laughter and discomfort, it reminds us that acceptance is not an abstract concept, but a daily act of coexistence.
On a day dedicated to museums as open spaces of culture and social participation, the choice of this film takes on a special symbolism, highlighting the Collection as a meeting place for people, experiences, and identities.
Organizers :
The Victoria G. Karelias Collection of Traditional Greek Costumes was created, initially as a private collection, by the founding member and long-standing president of the Lyceum Club of Greek Women of Kalamata, V. Karelias. The fruit of 50 years of dedicated effort, it was bestowed on the Lyceum, to be henceforth curated by an institution widely recognised for its contribution to the preservation and promotion of Greek tradition. Ever since, as a token of gratitude and based on a unanimous decision of the Administrative Board of the Lyceum, it has born the name of the collector.
The Collection hosts, among other things, periodic exhibitions of important Greek artists that, in contrast to the permanent exhibits, prove that tradition is not a sealed space but a living organism that constantly and diversely interacts with its wider environment and is rediscovered over and over again over the course of time.
Other info :
On Monday, May 18, the Collection will remain open throughout the day, from 9:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m.
