1821 Το Οραμα της Λευτεριάς: Με το χέρι του Ζωγράφου, με το στοχασμό του Μακρυγιάννη
Η έκθεση παρουσιάζει την σπάνια συλλεκτική σειρά με σκηνές από την Ελληνική Επανάσταση που εξέδωσαν ο Frédéric Boissonas και ο Ιωάννης Γεννάδιος το 1926. Η σειρά αντιγράφει πιστά τις σκηνές που διάλεξε ο στρατηγός Μακρυγιάννης και που εικονογράφησε κατά παραγγελία του ο Δημήτριος Ζωγράφος από το 1836 μέχρι το 1839.
Επιμέλεια Έκθεσης: Νατάσα Λαιμού, Ολυμπία Παππά
Σχεδιασμός: Αλέξης Βερούκας
Η έκθεση οργανώνεται από το Ελληνικό Κέντρο του Λονδίνου υπό την αιγίδα της Επιτροπής Ελλάδα 2021 με την χορηγία του Ίδρυματoς Α. Γ. Λεβέντη.
