Athens 166 73
Greece
Shaped by diverse transnational influences and a sustained commitment to the discovery and support of emerging artistic voices, the collection spans an impressive chronological range, from the 16th century to the present day. It brings together artworks across all media, folk and applied arts objects, archival materials, books, and cultural artefacts. As a whole, the collection traces and highlights the exchanges and intersections between East and West, placing particular emphasis on women artists, and creators from the Greek diaspora and the broader Mediterranean region.
The space hosts a curated range of thematic sections, including subjects such as women’s histories, folk culture, geography, shipping, and social history, inviting curators and researchers to deeply engage with the archive and collection so as to transform their own narrative into an exhibition.
The Irene Y. Panagopoulos Collection is housed in a specially designed space that serves as a workspace, exhibition venue, archive, reading room, library and storage facility. Visitors will also find rare art books, journals, exhibition catalogues, and significant works of literature on its shelves.
