MOMus-Museum of Contemporary Art

So this museum was a real find for me. I don't always prefer modern art, sometimes it's hard to understand, but this one had amazing visuals. Its collection is super varied, and I just could not stop taking photos and, I think, walked around several times to take it all in. That's really quite a place, and I really highly recommend. Also, there is plenty of light and space, and so, unlike some other dark museums, this one is just has this special atmosphere. So I really liked it.

A bit disappointing. I expected to get some overview of the contemporary art but it was just a mix of everything, no some logical displaying way. Sometimes it seemed they had a bunch of art pieces (which are interesting) and wanted just to display them. The building itself is strange, we also had the difficulty to find the main entrance.

It's impressive. There is a good permanent collection with some pieces of Niki Saint Phalle and Takis. But also contemporary Greek artists. A great expo of Marianna Ignataki blew my mind. The reception was pretty good.

We were in the small part of the museum close to Aristotelous Square, next to the old port. They have nicely revitalized the area with museums and restaurants. As we were visiting Thessaloniki, the MOMus happened to have an exhibition of Frida Kahlo’s photographs. That was lucky! The exhibition was beautiful! The small museum is very nice inside, small and not overwhelming, personnel very attentive. Recommended!

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.

I wanted to visit this museum because it's the best art museum in Thessaloniki. However, I must say that I didn't find any historical integrity or meaningful arrangement in the museum's permanent collection. I understand that the museum is organized with contributions from collectors, but I think the curation needs to be improved to better understand Thessaloniki and contemporary Greek art. Still, I enjoyed it, and the staff was very attentive.

Fascinating! One of the best places in Thessaloniki. I wasn't a big fan of contemporary art but the museum impressed me and was very interesting. The prices in July 2023 were: 4€ adult, 2€ students, free of charge for disabled and kids. Getting to the place is a bit complicated but you have to follow the arrows. Highly recommended ⭐

Interesting exhibits, a museum that should be visited if you are in Thessaloniki. Friendly people who work in the museum. For every recommendation!
