Art should be open to society; this was the vision and statement of the founders, Basil and Elise Goulandris. The new modern art museum opened its doors in 2019 and was specifically designed to showcase the Basil and Elise Goulandris Foundation’s world-class collection of Impressionist, Modernist, and post-war art. The collection emphasizes modern and contemporary art by both Greek and international artists, featuring rare pieces from European avant-garde masters such as Cézanne, Van Gogh, Gauguin, Monet, Toulouse-Lautrec, Picasso, alongside works by notable modern Greek painters including Parthenis, Bouzianis, Vassiliou, Hadjikyriakos-Ghikas, Tsarouchis, Moralis, Tetsis, and others.
