NATIONAL GALLERY

The National Gallery of Athens was established in 1900 and is regarded as one of the most significant art museums in Greece, housing over 20,000 works of painting, sculpture, engraving, drawing and other forms of art; this is the treasury of Modern Greek art, encompassing the period from the post-Byzantine times until today. Moreover, the National Gallery owns a remarkable collection of Western European paintings. In 1954, the National Gallery merged with the Alexandros Soutsos Estate, hence its double name. Beautiful works by Bruegel, Caravaggio, Delacroix, El Greco, and Picasso are displayed in a space characterized by innovative architectural perspective and an imposing presence in the heart of Athens.
