SUMMARY:Thematic Tour: The Depiction of the Face through the Collections of the National Gallery
DESCRIPTION:In the main building of the National Gallery\, the public has the opportunity to participate in a thematic tour dedicated to the art of portraiture. The tour explores the timeless need of artists\, as well as historical figures\, to keep their likeness alive through the centuries\, beginning with the simple\, and almost ascetic forms of the Saints in the late 16th century.\n\nAs the tour progresses towards the present day\, visitors observe radical changes in materials and techniques\, discovering how the long tradition of painting was transformed to render human psychography with a contemporary perspective. It is a journey into the gaze and the form\, illuminating the evolution of identity and artistic expression through the treasures of the country’s most important gallery.\n\nThis activity is only available in Greek.

SUMMARY:Guided Tour: Nikolas Klironomos Retrospective “1985–2025”
DESCRIPTION:We invite you to a series of guided tours of the Nikolas Klironomos retrospective\, a tour covering forty years of continuous artistic creation. The tour highlights the creator’s dual nature as both painter and set designer\, revealing how he “stages” his canvas to transform images of the city and its people into poetic narratives.\n\nAs we navigate through his works\, we will discover how everyday life meets the dream and how the changing seasons are captured through bold colours and special materials that provide movement and vitality. This is an opportunity to delve into the unseen aspects of time and human existence\, understanding how Klironomos manages to give a monumental character to the small\, fragmentary moments of our lives. An experiential tour that speaks straight to the heart and memory\, offering a comprehensive look at the work of one of the most versatile creators on the contemporary Greek scene.\n\nThis activity is only available in Greek.

SUMMARY:Historical Walk: "Women in the Resistance"
DESCRIPTION:History is often written in the singular\, but the soul of Athens was defended by many. As part of the Athens City Festival 2026\, historian Menelaos Charalampidis invites us on a specialized commemorative walk through the city streets\, illuminating a pivotal yet often overlooked chapter: the defiant role of women during the Occupation.\n\nThrough personal testimonies\, rare documents\, and vivid storytelling\, the footsteps of iconic figures like Lela Karagianni\, Elektra Apostolou\, and Ioulia Bimba come to life. From the protesters who stood unflinching before enemy tanks to the female partisans of the eastern neighbourhoods\, the city reveals a different\, fiercely dynamic face.\n\nThis isn’t just a journey through the struggle for liberation; it’s the story of women claiming a new place in post-war society. Join us for an experience that bridges past and present\, inviting you to “re-read” the history of Athens through the voices of the trailblazers who were kept on the margins for far too long.\n\nThis activity is only available in Greek.
