Greece is Guest of Honour at this year's Book Fair and with an exhibition covering a wide range of themes from its culture and literature - from tradition to vision - it is on show in the newly constructed "Forum". As part of the supporting program, exhibitions on Greek themes are already on display in most of Frankfurt's museums and galleries, including the historic photo exhibitions that opened last week in Frankfurt's Staedel: "Nelly - Dresden, Athens, New York - from the Collection of the Benaki Museum, Athens" and "In the Light of Helios - Greece in Early Photographs from the Siegert Collection".
