The Teriade Collection in Mytilini
The Teriade Museum opened its doors to the public in August 1979.
Stratis Eleftheriades- Teriade (1889-1983) was an inspired publisher. From his cooperation with the leading artists of the 20th century, he amassed a collection which is known today as the Great Books.
For the first time in the history of art, painters such as Matisse, Picasso, Chagall, were given the opportunity not simply to illustrate books, but to create an artistic work through the medium of the book.
