Having visited the Gallery a few months ago, I left myself astonished and more than thrilled with the entire ambience. It is a very elegantly designed and at the same time minimally decorated art place, located in the Northern subs of Athens with lots of artcrafts, original paintings from famous moderns as well as older European artists and artpieces waiting silently and patiently for the visiting admirers to be left with open mouths! It's a must and highly recommended both for art experts and ordinary people to come along and dedicate 1 hour of their lives to get lost in that ''ocean'' of fine art! Most importantly, there is free entrance for everyone!

Free entry to this large, eclectic collection of art, built up over the years by a private collector and now open to the public. It spreads over 2 or 3 floors (one was closed when I was there) and there's a suggested route to follow through the many rooms. The lowest level is chock full of drawings and watercolours, with oils, sculpture and other media upstairs. There's lots to see, and lost to interest art-lovers, in many different styles and (it has to be said) of varying quality. Exhibits are labelled with the name of the artist, and dates, but no other info is available. Plus the works are rather squashed in (so many objects, but the gallery size is of course limited). I felt slightly disappointed that there was no information about artists, schools, styles or traditions here. I enjoyed looking, but didn't learn much. It could be so much better curated - but I suppose that would mean (because of space limitations) having some stuff in storage. And probably funding it with entry fees. But if you are visiting Athens and have had enough of ancient ruins, hop on the metro to the end of the line and pay this place a visit. It has its own charm, and the location (Kifissia) is a nice place to see, as well.
