Why Visit the Museum of Modern Greek Culture?

Located in the heart of Athens' historic center, the Museum of Modern Greek Culture is housed within a block of buildings dating from the 18th to the 20th century, with the Tzistarakis Mosque standing out among them. This architectural mix creates a unique monumental and cultural landscape within the city.

This exhibition explores the social, artistic, and historical changes that shaped modern Greece. The permanent collection showcases aspects of Greek culture from the 19th century to the present through documents of the country's tangible and intangible cultural heritage. 

With your ticket, you'll admire over 3000 items, digital exhibitions, and a wealth of visual material, all contributing to the image of a modern museum with a unique identity. In its most notable rooms, you'll see traditional costumes, textiles, jewelry, and household items that reflect the regional diversity of Greece.

During your visit, you'll also marvel at paintings and sculptures by renowned Greek artists, tracing the evolution of modern Greek art from the 19th-century National School to European modernist influences.

The historic exhibitions cover key periods such as the Greek War of Independence and the post-war era, along with pictures, manuscripts, and personal objects that document the daily life of ancient civilization.

The temporary exhibitions offer a deep dive into thems such as Greek music, dance, literature, and theater.
