Through the Foundation, Basil and Elise Goulandris established three innovative museum spaces on Andros, which was the birthplace of Basil Goulandris. Their vision also included the creation of a museum in Athens, so that a wider audience would become familiar with the field of modern Greek and international art. Unfortunately, they both passed away before accomplishing this goal.

Fortunately, the Goulandris museum in Athens is finally completed and open to the public, about two decades after Basil and Elise Goulandris death. In its premises the visitors will have the chance to admire a rich collection that includes rare pieces of art, created by the most important artists of the European avant-garde.
