SUMMARY:Nikolas Klironomos: A Retrospective (1985–2025)
DESCRIPTION:This major retrospective is a brilliant place to start looking into the work of Nikolas Klironomos\, an artist who has spent decades masterfully blurring the lines between fine art and set design.\n\nKlironomos doesn’t just paint; he “directs” his canvases. Think of him as a visual filmmaker who takes the raw\, chaotic energy of Athens\, our streets\, our faces\, our light\, and filters it through a lens of memory and emotion.\n\nIn this exhibition\, the mundane meets the dreamlike. You’ll see the changing seasons of the city tangled up with those small\, quirky moments that make life in Athens so unique. By playing with vibrant palettes and some rather unusual materials\, he creates scenes that feel like they’re in constant motion. It’s a bit like catching a glimpse of Athens from a moving Vespa—everything is fluid\, poetic\, and strangely alive.\n\nThis exhibition is designed to speak directly to your heart and your memory. What’s truly clever is how Klironomos takes “the bits and bobs” of life\, those fragmented\, everyday moments\, and gives them a sense of grandeur and importance. It’s a proper journey into the hidden corners of time and what it actually means to be human.\n\nOpening hours: Tuesday–Saturday: 11:00–19:00; Sunday: 10:00–16:00. Closed on Monday.

SUMMARY:Giorgos Tserionis: AFTER
DESCRIPTION:Through his works\, Giorgos Tserionis captures the life cycle of homo urbanus\, using a diverse array of materials such as clay\, marble\, metal\, and latex. The artist creates a contemporary “archaeology” from ruins\, building skeletons\, and debris\, highlighting the daily struggle for survival and the eternal search for a better life.\n\nSet within a historic neoclassical building in Metaxourgeio\, his work functions as a memento mori that\, while underscoring human fragility\, is not devoid of hope.\n\nBy juxtaposing darkness with light and “hazard yellow” with earthy tones\, the creator leads us beneath the surface of things\, offering a compassionate look at the hardships of modern man and giving a wink to the future with his own version of “and they lived happily ever after.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nOpening hours: Tuesday–Saturday: 11:00–19:00; Sunday: 10:00–16:00. Closed on Monday.

SUMMARY:A Three-Star Architectural Crown: The Neoclassical Trilogy of Athens
DESCRIPTION:The University\, the Academy\, and the National Library form the absolute crown jewels of our city’s architecture\, the ultimate Trilogy that defined the look of modern Athens.\n\nBut there’s way more to these marble marvels than just a good photo op. As part of this year’s This is Athens City Festival\, we are hitting the pavement with archaeologist and top-tier guide Michalis Giohalas. Michalis won’t just point at statues; he’s here to spill the secrets\, symbols\, and big ideas hidden behind those famous facades. You’ll discover how 19th-century architects tried to build a “bridge” between the glory of Ancient Greece and the newly formed Greek state. Think of it as a deep dive into Athens’ DNA\, explaining how statues\, towering columns\, and tiny decorative details all played a part in a young nation’s vision.\n\nIt’s history\, but with a pulse. Whether you’re a fresh arrival to the city or a long-term expat who walks past these buildings every day\, this tour will make you see the centre of Athens in a completely new light.\n\nMeeting Point: The Propylaea of the University of Athens (Right outside “Panepistimio” Metro station\, University exit). \n\nThis activity is only available in Greek.
