Greeks & Geeks by Tianna B.
Reviewed by HelloMetro User on 2005-07-28T00:00:00Z

The Hellenic Museum & Cultural Center is the best collection of Greek artistic work that captures the visual, literal and performing arts. I live in Los Angeles and comparing related festivals, collections and related celebrations of Hellenic cultures does not compare. When I visited, the 'Remembering Generations: The Greek Immigrant's Journey' I was touched by the collection depicting the Greek immigrant experience and when in the area will visit again. Until June 4th, 2005 there is a another exibit 'Cyprus Engraved: Maps from the Cyprus Museum Collection' that I would also recommend.
