1.- Moral support

Since the beginning of this initiative, there was significant moral support of eminent members of the Greek society, which resulted in the formation of a Honorary Committee. It was this moral support that gave the strength to the Board of Directors for this hard and daring enterprise. The museum considered particularly honorable the decision of the Minister of Culture at that period to take the program under the patronage of the Ministry.

2.- Financial Support

Since the beginning there were several donations from individuals and from the private sector, which expressed the team spirit and the embracement of our society of this great enterprise. Very important was the support from the Ministers of Culture and Economy and Economics M r. E. Venizelos and Mr. N. Christodoulakis respectively but also from the I. Kostopoulos Foundation.
