National Gallery - Alexandros Soutsos Museum

Greek art tells a story of a country finding its modern identity. The National Gallery – Alexandros Soutsos Museum in Athens traces that story through paintings, sculpture and prints, from the years surrounding Greek independence to the art of the 20th and 21st centuries. Works by artists including Theodoros Vryzakis, Nikolaos Gyzis, Konstantinos Parthenis and Yannis Tsarouchis show how Greek artists moved between local traditions and wider European influences. The museum also holds works by major European artists, while temporary exhibitions bring different periods, artists and themes into focus.
