Democracy represents one of Greece's most significant legacies to the world, the cornerstone of Western civilization and the leading expression of freedom. As we celebrate 50 years since the restoration of Democracy in our country in 2024, we invite you to join us with your significant other for a guided tour of the special exhibition presented in the National Gallery.

This is the first major exhibition to explore artistic responses to the struggles against authoritarian rule and the pursuit of democracy in 1960s-70s Greece, Spain, and Portugal. The carefully curated collection of artworks prompts reflection on our historical experiences and achievements and their impact on our collective identity and future. Amid rising extremist voices, declining voter turnout, and growing scepticism towards institutional credibility, it serves as a poignant reminder of the ongoing need to defend democracy.

Kindly be informed that the guided tour at the National Gallery is complimentary and will be held in Greek.

Please note that the participation is limited to 20 people, on a first-come, first-served basis.

We look forward to seeing you there!
