Visit the Benaki Museum - Pireos, the institution's contemporary annexe. Browse rotating exhibitions and festival shows in a spacious modern venue that stays open late.
Full description
The Pireos Street annexe is the Benaki Museum's contemporary arm, a large modern venue that hosts changing exhibitions, events and festivals rather than a fixed collection. Visitors have come for the Athens Photo Festival and for presentations and cultural events, and reviewers rate the space highly.
Opening hours stretch late on some days, so it works well outside daytime sightseeing. Allow around an hour, and check the current programme in advance since the content changes.
