THE MUSEUM
The Benaki Museum, founded by Antonis Benakis in 1931, is among the most extensive and innovative museum organisations in Europe. Diverse cultures from all historical periods meet contemporary art movements across a network of venues all over Athens—and beyond.
The Benaki Museum / Pireos 138 is a 1960s industrial building transformed into a state-of-the-art museum space around a central atrium, with 3,000 m2 of exhibition space over three floors and a 400-seat auditorium. It hosts exhibitions and cultural events on modern art, music, dance, theatre, and film, as well as conferences.
A Shop specialising in Greek design and a creative-cooking restaurant make it a popular haunt in one of the most ancient and fastest-developing areas of Athens.
