B. & M. Theocharakis Foundation for the Fine Arts & Music — Attraction in Athens

Theocharakis Foundation is an excellent place to visit if you are an art aficionado, exhibitions vary depending the season. It is located across the Greek Parliament, if you are on foot, it's easy to visit. If you want to visit by car, it's a bit hard to find a parking spot, your best best would be to park your car in a parking garage. I have visited quite a few times, but the last exhibition was for the Greek painter, Konstantinos Volanakis. The only negative about the exhibition center is the staff, they don't give any attention to you, they seem super bored and they don't even talk to you back. They just sit behind the desk chatting to each other and they don't care who is coming in or not. I would easily go in for free, if I wanted to since they don't pay attention. The guards looking after the exhibition area, even they are following you around to the point it becomes annoying and rude, or they are on their phones in some corner, or none is there at all. My rating is for the center alone and what it offers to the public, sharing knowledge to the people. If I had to rate the staff too, it would be at least...

For 7 euros for an entrance fee in times of crisis, I expect at least a smile from the man in the ticket booth who put me on hold without even eye contact. I expect my order at the cafe to be just what I ordered and not something similar and my bill to be the exact amount and not one made by mistake. If I didn't notice, you'd charge me extra. So naturally I demand an apology and not an evasive excuse from the waitress. Manners are caught not taught, I guess. I expect the personnel to be quiet in the exhibition rooms and not stay behind doors and giggle and shout while I'm looking at the paintings. Simple as that. I expect the man at the entrance of the exhibition to remember me and not ask for my ticket in a highbrow style only 10 min. after I entered because he left his post and simply forgot my face. I wouldn't try to cheat by entering for free, would I? Well, on the whole the building was beautiful and the exhibition small and interesting but the personnel let me down. I guess they are underpaid like all the workers in Greece so I can't really blame them. I wish myself better luck...

If you’re looking for a contemporary art gallery, specifically presenting contemporary groups and Greek sculptures, I highly recommend this one. They are sculptures that a very stunning mind mind-blowing and breathtaking. I like how simplistic each floor is. They are concentrated on one or a few artists and all the sculptures, have a similar bizarre and distorted style that captures your eyes. It looks like they don’t have many items that are each floor, but each item is worse to look at closely to observe and some of them are very interesting names that you have to go up close to read the English translations I like some sculptures have to do with music scene or nThe animal theme for some makes me feel a bit uncomfortable, but once I get used to it I’m just impressed by the artist's imagination. Yet the ticket is a bit pricey(10 euros), I think their artwork is unique enough, and for many people who love niche art, this place is worth your...
