National Gallery - Alexandros Soutsos Museum, Art museum in Central Athens, Greece.
The Alexandros Soutsos Museum is an art museum in central Athens that displays over 15,000 artworks ranging from post-Byzantine pieces to modern works. The collection includes paintings, sculptures, and photographs spanning various artistic periods.
The museum was founded in 1896 from the will of Alexandros Soutsos, who donated his entire fortune to establish an art institution. This legacy created one of the country's major art collections.
The collection shows Greek artistic development over time, presenting works by Greek masters alongside international artists like El Greco and Rembrandt. Visitors can observe how local artistic traditions have mixed with European influences.
