Detailed program
Founded in 2004, this private non-profit foundation focuses on the visual arts and music, with a special interest in modernism. The driving force behind the imposing cultural center, housed in a neoclassical building opposite the Greek Parliament, is Basil Theocharakis, a prominent businessman who is also an avid and talented painter, and his wife Marina. Temporary exhibitions, classical concerts, and workshops are held here on a regular basis, while Merlin Café, the elegant first-floor café, offers a welcome respite from the city's hustle and bustle.
Take the chance to admire the unique exhibits and combine it with a delightful wine tasting lunch prepared especially for you with Greek products at Merlin Café which welcomes visitors in a luxurious way and pleasantly extends their experience beyond the Foundation's admirable exhibitions.
