Greece’s largest and most iconic gallery, the new Greek National Gallery – Alexandros Soutsos Museum, entered a new era, completing a major expansion and modernization project and reopening to welcome visitors. Painting, sculpture, engraving, drawing, and installations live side-by-side on the three floors of permanent collections, offering an artistic and historical encyclopedia of Greek cultural heritage.
The expansion of the National Gallery’s exhibition areas allows more than 1,000 works from its rich collections to be displayed, compared with 400 pieces in the old facilities, and provides additional infrastructure that encourages the audience’s engagement. Through this renovation project, the National Gallery has been transformed into a modern, functional, and inviting museum, at home in a contemporary building with state-of-the-art facilities and technologies and in constant dialogue with the city of Athens.
The Stavros Niarchos Foundation (SNF) proudly supported the expansion of the museum through a $14.16 million (€13 million) grant which proved decisive in completion of the project.
The new Greek National Gallery – Alexandros Soutsos Museum opened its doors to the public on May 14th, 2021.
