Goulandris Museum of Contemporary Art

The Basil and Elise Goulandris Foundation Museum is reopening after a three-month lockdown on Thursday, June 17, ready to treat the public to its fascinating collection, which includes masterpieces by artists such as Pablo Picasso, Auguste Renoir, Henri Matisse, Vincent Van Gogh and Claude Monet, as well as many prominent Greek artists.

The Basil and Elise Goulandris Foundation will launch a series of jazz concerts on the premises of its recently opened modern art museum in Pangrati on October 18 with a tribute to the great Thelonious Monk by the George Kontrafouris Trio.

Preparations are under way for the October 2 grand opening of the new Basil & Elise Goulandris Foundation Museum in the central Athens district of Pangrati.

As announced in a recent press conference by Fleurette Karadontis, niece of the late Elise Goulandris and president of the Basil & Elise Goulandris Foundation, the much awaited Goulandris museum will open in just a few months, on October 1, with a series of celebratory events.

The Goulandris Museum of Contemporary Art on the Cycladic island of Andros is hosting a big retrospective exhibition on one of the important Greek painters of the 20th century, Dimitris Mytaras, who died last year aged 83.
