Posted by Located in Thessaloniki, Greece, the MOMus-Macedonian Museum of Contemporary Art is a vibrant cultural institution founded in 1979. It features diverse collections of Greek and international contemporary art, including works from the Iolas, Xydis, and Apergis collections. The museum’s modernist building was designed by architect George Tsirogiannis and seamlessly blends with its surroundings in the heart of Thessaloniki.
As someone who visits Tate Modern quite often, I was looking forward to visit a contemporary art museum in another country. I love it! There’s a huge range of different works and styles to see, all descriptions are in Greek and English, and the building itself is airy and just lovely to walk through.
Especially happy to see female and also queer artists being shown, because we all know that
it’s still a struggle in quite a lot of museums and representation matters. I also had an avocado and egg bread at the cafe, which was delicious and the service was kind and cheerful. The only downside: Finding the entrance is overly complicated if you’re from out of town. So I took a picture for everyone struggling like I did.
