The Art Collection of the Hellenic Parliament
The Art Collection, kept at the Special Collections, mostly includes Modern Greek art of the 19th and the 20th century as well as contemporary Greek artists’ works of Greek-inspired subjects (historic, mythological, philhellenic subjects, landscape and monuments). All visual arts are represented in the Collection: paintings of a variety of techniques and subjects, prints by well-known Greek artists as well as sculptures, mainly of monumental character by prominent Greek artists.
The Collection further includes historic portraits of former Presidents of the Parliament and Prime Ministers. Various works of the decorative arts, mainly of philhellenic reference, belong to the Collection.
Many works of the Collection are currently exhibited inside and around the Parliament Building. Works of Art are occasionally exhibited in relevant exhibitions presented in Greece and abroad. The collection is depicted in a recently published album.
