As of 1994 the Parliament has been making a systematic effort to come closer to the citizens and mostly the youth by organizing exhibitions on the occasion of important historical events or to pay tribute to distinguished personalities of Hellenism. By means of such events, the Parliament actually contributes to helping citizens get a more profound knowledge of history and adopt a more critical stance towards the past and the present.

Furthermore, elementary, junior and senior high school students can visit the Parliament on weekdays (see section on School Visits)

Moreover, groups of visitors, such as members of associations, senior citizen clubs etc. may schedule a visit by calling the Parliament (210 3692429 and 210 3692106).

The Hellenic Parliament Foundation for Parliamentarism and Democracy,  the National Research Foundation “Eleftherios Venizelos” and the Benaki Museum have organized the exhibition “Eleftherios Venizelos, diplomat & revolutionary- vision and actions” in the Hellenic Parliament Conference Hall (22 Amalia’s Venue).
