Telloglion Foundation of Art

Telloglion Foundation of Art, Art museum in Thessaloniki, Greece

The Telloglion Foundation of Art occupies a 6,500-square-metre building on the northern side of the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki campus, completed in 1997 and inaugurated in December 1999. Its exhibition area covers three floors and 2,500 square metres, divided into independent sections with monitored temperature, humidity and light. The collection numbers about 7,000–8,000 exhibits, including 19th- and 20th-century Greek and European paintings, sculptures, prints and drawings, plus Hellenistic and Roman pottery, Chinese and Arabic ceramics, Persian miniatures and Thai wood reliefs.

The foundation was established in 1972, when Nestor and Aliki Telloglou donated their entire property and art collection to the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki. Nestor died the same year, and Aliki pursued the project; the building on the campus's northern side was completed in 1997 and inaugurated in December 1999. In 2016 the renovated Telloglou house on Aristotelis Street opened to the public.

The foundation's name honours Nestor and Aliki Telloglou, who in 1972 gave their entire property and art collection to the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki. The university then set up the foundation to house the works and open them to the public. A renovated Telloglou house on Aristotélous Street, opened to visitors in 2016, is also part of the institution.

The museum is located next to the Aristotle University campus in a large green park area and is easily accessible on foot from the city center. The exhibition spaces are spread across three floors with climate control, and lighting and humidity management are designed to protect the artworks optimally.

The library holds about 22,000 volumes, built mainly from donations: the art critic Tonis Spiteris and the sculptor Ioanna Spiteris gave its core, and the archive and library of Georgios Mourelos came from Ioannis Mourelos. Access is granted after application and approval by the foundation's board, and the collection is being added to the Aristotle University online catalogue.
