Vorres Museum

Vorres Museum, Art museum in Peania, Greece.

The Vorres Museum is an art facility in Peania spread across multiple buildings on large grounds, housing more than 6000 objects. The collection covers different periods of Greek art history and displays how artistic practice developed in the country.

The Vorres Museum was founded in 1983 by Ian Vorres (1924–2015), who donated it with his family to the Greek state. Its grounds hold two houses from the Ottoman period, together with a stable and a wine press. The museum is a diachronic collection of folk and contemporary art.

The museum's name comes from the Vorres family, who donated the collection and grounds to the Greek state; founder Ian Vorres (1924-2015) led it. In Canada he met Grand Duchess Olga Alexandrovna, sister of Tsar Nicholas II, and wrote her biography, published in 1962 as The Last Grand Duchess. The folk-art section occupies two houses of the Ottoman period, with a stable and a wine press.

The museum lies in Paiania, eastern Attica, on grounds of over 18 stremmata holding several buildings, gardens and courtyards, so plan time to walk between the folk-art and contemporary sections. The site is a donation of the Vorres family to the Greek state.

Founder Ian Vorres studied art at Queen's University and the University of Toronto; there he met Grand Duchess Olga Alexandrovna, sister of Tsar Nicholas II, who asked him to write her biography, published in 1962 as The Last Grand Duchess.
