Description

The collections of the National Gallery - Alexandros Soutzos Museum in Athens are housed in two buildings. Artworks which trace the history of Greek art in modern times, as well as a group of Western European works, are housed in the main building. Artworks which trace the history of Modern Greek sculpture are housed in the National Glyptotheque (at Goudi).

Today, the National Gallery collections comprise more than 16,000 works of painting, sculpture, engraving 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 Soutzos Estate, hence its double name.
