Basil & Elise Goulandris Foundation Museum, Athens, Modern art museum in Pangrati district, Athens, Greece
The museum occupies an eleven-story building with five floors dedicated to exhibition spaces, combining a preserved mid-war structure with modern architectural elements.
The museum, which opened in October 2019, originated from a collection worth three billion dollars amassed by shipping magnate Basil Goulandris and his wife Elise.
The permanent collection displays works by Cézanne, Van Gogh, Gauguin, Monet, and Picasso, alongside Greek artists from the twentieth and twenty-first centuries.
The facility includes a gift shop, restaurant, library containing 6,000 art books, and an amphitheater that seats 187 people for cultural events.
The museum exhibits Van Gogh's Olive Picking from 1889, created during his stay at Saint-Paul-de-Mausole asylum in France.
