If you are in Athens for a few days, and have already visited the ancient sites, why not consider the National Museum of Contemporary Art? The museum is housed in the iconic and historic Fix building on Syngrou Avenue, which had been a brewery established in the late 19th century. After moving the brewery, the Fix building was unoccupied for about three decades, but remained a point of reference for Athenians and visitors.
Today, this vast space - uncommon to buildings of its era - serves as the perfect exhibition venue for contemporary art of various media. Funding is from the Hellenic Ministry of Culture and Sports, and the lead donor is the Stavros Niarchos Foundation.
You can find visiting hours, and the latest exhibitions and events at emst.gr/en.
