The National Gallery of Athens. Η Εθνική Πινακοθήκη.

The National Gallery of Athens will be closed for two years for expansion and renovation. Last weekend was the last it was open for visitors and I grabbed the chance. Here are some of the exhibits.
Η Εθνική Πινακοθήκη έκλεισε για διο χρόνια για επέκταση και ανακαίνιση. Το περασμένο Σαββατοκύριακο ήταν ανοικτή για τελευταία φορά και βρήκα την ευκαιρία να την επισκεφτώ.

It looks like a great museum and people will miss it while it's closed.

it surprises me they allowed photographs to be taken in the gallery. Visiting those places is always thought provoking. You might wonder what two years of renovations will bring about when next you might visit Costas

The fact that they are renovating and expanding this museum means that it is well attended. Always nice to see art flourish in a city, of course you would expect that in Athens. Lovely photographs you captured here Costas. I'm sure it wasn't easy with the light and no flash.
Bon weekend,
