Good to know

Tips, answered

Enter through the main door on Leonidou street and head straight upstairs to begin with the modernist works, then work your way down chronologically

Most visitors tend to rush through the ground floor academic paintings, but take the time to study the Nikiphoros Lytras portraits which demonstrate exceptional technical skill

Visit on weekday mornings when you'll often have entire rooms to yourself, and the natural light from the tall windows showcases the paintings at their best
