Exhibition: Chess as an Art Object
14.02-15.05.2025

Έκθεση Σκάκι

The “Lilian Voudouri” Music Library of the Friends of Music Society is hosting a unique exhibition—the first of its kind in Greece—featuring chessboards and chess pieces from around the world. It invites us on a journey through space and time, showcasing items dating from the 19th century to the present day, sourced from all corners of the globe (from China to Africa and beyond). The exhibition is enriched with selected books from the extensive private collection of musician and chess player Achilles Zografos, focusing on the art of chess. Additionally, tables with chessboards will be available for those wishing to engage in a spirited game, guided by Duchamp’s words: “While not all artists are chess players, all chess players are artists.”
