MOMus-Museum of Modern Art-Kostakis collection

Reviewed By P3652ZVjohnj

This 'contemporary' museum is full of wonderfully astounding quirks. Firstly, the entry staff write handwritten receipts for your ticket - its like going back in time! Then there are displays of a great mixture of provoking, confronting and challenging art. But for some real fun - try to read the descriptions of each piece of art. They are carefully printed in tiny font so that no-one over 45 has any chance of reading them without the use of magnifying spectacles. And just when you get to within 30 cm so you can actually read the description, a staff member leaps from nowhere and scolds you to get back from the art. Next time I will take a telescope.

It is considered a characteristic example of architectural eclecticism. The building, property of the Municipality of Thessaloniki since 1990, was restored in 1997. Casa Bianca is hosting temporary exhibitions on the ground floor, a permanent exhibition of the works of Nikolaos Gyzis on the first floor and part of the Modern Greek engraving and scupture collection in the attic.
