Athens Municipal Gallery, Art museum in Metaxourgeio, Greece.
The Athens Municipal Gallery holds a collection of 3,000 artworks, primarily featuring Greek artists from the 19th and 20th centuries within its neoclassical walls.
The building, constructed in 1834 by Danish architect Christian Hansen, initially operated as a silk factory before becoming a hospital and military headquarters during World War II.
The gallery displays paintings and sculptures from the interwar period, including notable portraits of Athens mayors created by distinguished Greek artists throughout history.
The gallery opens exclusively during exhibitions, offering free guided tours focused on archaeological sites, with wheelchair accessibility for all visitors to explore the collections.
Half of the current art collection was acquired between 1930 and 1940, marking a period of substantial growth in modern Greek artistic expression.
