The fourth floor highlights the pioneering researchers and poets of abstraction, who in many cases, moved abroad to establish their art careers. The already popular works of Giannis Moralis, Nikos Hatzikyriakou-Gika and Jannis Kounellis are presented alongside Takis, Chryssa, Thanos Tsigos, Theodoros Stamos, George Zongolopoulos, Pavlos and Alexis Akritakis.

The renewal of the collection was edited by Kyriakos Koutsomallis, with the help of Maria Koutsomalli-Moro. They collaborated again, for the new set design proposal, with Andreas Georgiadis and Paraskevi Gerolymatou from Mikri Arktos.

Opening Hours:
