The exhibition of contemporary art The Last Grand Tour / Contemporary Travellers in Greece aims to present, for the first time, the work of internationally acclaimed artists who lived and worked in Greece during the 20th century.
Considering Greece as a place of inspiration over the last sixty years, the exhibits reflect the varying ways in which the country, it's long cultural history and it's geographic characteristics continue to inspire artistic innovation through time. Concentrating on artists who resided in Greece over long periods of time or even turned Greece into their second home, the exhibition will bring to the forefront famous visitors, but also those who have been discreetly present over the last decades.
