Marika Kotopouli Museum

Marika Kotopouli Museum, Modern art museum in Zografou, Athens, Greece

The Marika Kotopouli Museum occupies the villa that the actress Marika Kotopouli (1887–1954) built as her holiday home, begun in 1918 and completed in the 1920s on Alexandrou Panagouli Street in Zografou. The restored building keeps its original architectural form and interior rooms, and it holds the permanent art collection of Konstantinos Ioannides alongside temporary exhibitions.

The building was constructed in 1926 as a residence and commandeered by German forces during World War II. Following the war, it served as a police station before eventually being converted into a museum.

The collection displays letters and photographs documenting Marika's artistic exchanges with fellow theater performers of her era. These personal documents reveal how actors of that generation stayed connected through their craft and shared work.

The museum stands at 17 Alexandrou Panagouli Street, at its junction with Ypolochagou Th. Kavvatha Street in Zografou, and is run by the municipality's Cultural Centre. The Villa Kotopouli bus stop on Stratarchou Papagou Avenue, served by OASA urban lines, is a short walk away. The restored villa keeps its original interior layout, so rooms follow one another in sequence.

The museum displays Marika's legacy alongside rotating contemporary art exhibitions from local and international artists. This combination of theater heritage with modern art creates an interesting conversation between different artistic eras.
