National Museum of Contemporary Art Αthens (ΕΜΣΤ)

This wonderful industrial building houses a very interesting collection of contemporary art with a focus on Greek artists but also keeps an eye on the world scene. The temporary exhibitions are world class and the huge spaces makes wandering through art a relaxing walk. The restaurant on the top floor has one of Athens’ greatest views and a lovely well priced menu. A cafe and a bookshop on the ground floor are also worth a visit.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ A wonderful museum with a unique atmosphere! We really enjoyed our visit — the combination of contemporary art and the archaeological ruins beneath the building is truly impressive. The space is modern, clean, and beautifully organized. No waiting time, and the experience was calm and inspiring. Highly recommend for anyone visiting Athens!

Nice museum. The temporary exhibition "Why Look at Animals?" is an interesting approach to the humanity's stance towards animals. Worth a visit. Ticket costs 10 euros and you can reuse ir for the next 30 days. The restaurant on the top floor offers nice views of Acropolis.

I loved this Museum! It resembles Tate Modern.The staff are helpful and smiling. The restaurant at the top floor has a stunning view to the Acropolis and the food was great. The exhibitions are avant-garde.

The current exhibition "Why look at the animals" is pretty impressing, the area is big, spacious, it has been designed well, it may take a long time to see all of the works but there are spaces to have little rests, I would recommend to experience.

I don't usually like contemporary art museums. I often find them too abstract or farfetched to understand meaningfully. But I really enjoyed this museum and their "Why Animals" exhibition. Each display or section had thought provoking messages that were communicated in a way that was innovative and creative, and got me thinking from a different perspective regarding our various relations with animals and their purpose to us.

This museum focuses on exhibitions, with art that is both selected and commissioned from primarily Mediterranean artists. The curatorial team did a nice job on the animal exhibit, balancing different media and aspects of the topic. There's a nice rooftop cafe and small store.

A large variety off exhibitions and interesting artists. You might need two day ro see all! Great panoramic view on top off the building. Just missed some indication that it was FIX brewery, where is the old heritage ?
