National Museum of Contemporary Art Athens (EMST)

4.4 ·

Head to EMST, Athens' contemporary art museum inside a former brewery. Wander installation-heavy galleries of Greek and international work, and don't miss the audio space and the temporary exhibitions.

📖

Full description

EMST shows contemporary art by Greek and international artists in a sleek former brewery whose industrial structure suits large installations. Reviewers point to the audio space as a highlight and describe the temporary exhibitions as world-class.

The layout is easy to follow, and the museum sits within comfortable walking distance of much of the centre. Plan roughly an hour, and reserve ahead since booking is recommended.

It is closed on Mondays.

Reviews

Definitely worth visiting this museum, which has a wide range of artworks, mostly but not all installations, from both Greek and international artists. I thought the best was the audio space with the works of Jani Christou, but the rest was great too. Entry is €10, or €5 for young people etc
