Marika
Kotopouli Museum
The
museum was inaugurated in May 1990. It is a functional museum
of modern art, able to house important exhibitions. The building,
erected in 1926, was the holiday home of the great Greek theatre
actress Marika Kotopouli. During the German occupation, the house
was requisitioned by the Germans. Later it housed the police station
of the area.
With
the support of the Association of Greek Actors, the Municipality
of Zografou restored the house, which was classified as a listed
building. It now shows its distinctive architecture and its beautiful
interiors where high quality cultural activities are held today.
This
museum does not exhibit objects related to Kotopouli. The building
itself is of value as a museum. For the time being it welcomes
temporary exhibitions while it offers a permanent home to the
artistic collection of Constantine Ioannides.
