Greece’s National Gallery houses some of the most important works of Greek art, according to greekreporter.com.
Following 7 years of renovation, the beauty of the National Gallery has stunned the country, as the glass panels of the building’s facade glisten under the Greek sun, beckoning passers-by to come inside.
While the outside of the National Gallery is undoubtedly impressive, the many masterpieces held within its walls are much more remarkable.
Featuring mainly works from or related to Greece dating from the 14th to the 20th centuries, the halls of the National Gallery of Greece provide a complete image of the development of not only Greek art but also of Greek history.
The museum boasts a collection of more than 20,000 priceless works of art, including paintings, drawings, and sculptures, and was founded in 1878.
