A multifunctional and environmentally sustainable education, arts, and recreation destination. It comprises of the Stavros Niarchos Park, and the new facilities of the National Library of Greece (NLG) and the Greek National Opera (GNO). Designed with the purpose of being open and accessible to all, it enriches the lives of the country's residents and aims to attract visitors from around the world.
By far the best thing we saw in Athens, by far the best design by Renzo Piano (and we have seen half of his world), by far the most impressive new cultural center in the world-an absolutely a marvel, a joy. Do not skip this. Go at twilight and stay for events. Anyone with any love for architecture must go. What a wonderous amazing testament to what spaces human beings can still create. A space of utter beauty, from glass, steel, concrete - with incredible use of water and plants- serving its aim, full of families, young and old, in all sorts of activities. Hours upon hours of watching every age, color and type of person come and go will forever stay with me. Watching people love their time in this space is amazing. A sunset to die for. A wonderous space to just hang out, sit around and mull the world. Dancing fountains, great concerts, good food. The upstairs sitting area, with a piano, played nonstop for hours by two amazing visitors as groups gathered with evening food, or stopped by to say hello made for another mellow evening. The glassbox observation spaces, the terrace cafe, leading to the slope of stairs, and then slope of many a garden, some of them on the roof of major buildings, playgrounds with unique aspects in every corner, attention to detail, from each light, to the water fountains, to every plant. Ah, if only the rest of the world was building spaces like this. I associated the name of Stavros Niarchos mostly with a playboy image of excess and I though with sadness of what Renzo Piano, the man who started with the Pompidou, was now creating in terms of banality of his recent US spaces. This placed made me think it was an appropriate, grand bookend to the career of an architect for architects (who knows how much of this was his, but who cares) -- and it also allowed me to forgive the excesses of the exceedingly wealthy. For a few days.

Adorning the entrance of the town of Nea Smyrni is the striking edifice of Estia Neas Smyrnis. Built in the magnificent clasical style, Estia Neas Smyrnis runs and operates museums housing some of the rarest and most valuable exhibits of both Asia Minor and the Hellenistic world. These include the Museum of Art, the war museum of Asia Minor and the museum of Byzantine Art and an Art Gallery.
