Preserving Our Past to Impact the Future

We are a nonprofit organization dedicated to the idea that preserving and sharing the Greek story from ancient times to the modern Greek American experience can impact our collective future. The National Hellenic Museum is funded entirely through private donations and grants.

Our Mission

The National Hellenic Museum is America’s only national institution to document and present the legacy of Greek Americans and their contributions to the American mosaic, while celebrating their rich Greek history and culture and the profound impact of their Hellenic heritage upon the world.
