ABOUT THE FOUNDATION
The Basil & Elise Goulandris Foundation is a non-profit organization founded in 1979. Its main purpose is the operation of its two museums, on the island of Andros and in Athens, and the promotion of visual arts on a domestic and international level.
Its founders and inspirers were Basil and Elise Goulandris, who were passionate about art. Painting was the main focus of their interest, which connected them to the artistic circles of post-war Paris; they also promoted young Greek artists, helping them to evolve their art and expand their artistic horizons.
Its Collection is one of the most important private collections created during the second half of the 20th century. The main purpose of the B&E Goulandris Foundation in Athens is to house this collection and make it accessible to the public, in accordance with the wish of its founders. As is the case with most private collections, the selection criteria for the works which are included in it were purely subjective. Basil and Elise Goulandris chose these specific works guided only by their personal preferences and aesthetic codes. Their wish was the creation of a museum in Athens, which would provide the opportunity for a broader audience to come into contact and become familiar with the art they so loved. They envisaged a lively cultural organization, on a par with internationally acclaimed institutions in the field of the visual arts.
The Basil & Elise Goulandris Foundation, which is in the center of Athens and houses the Collection of the Foundation, also hosts temporary exhibitions, educational programs, and cultural events using advanced museological applications within the broad spectrum of modern and contemporary art.
In addition to its exhibitions, the Foundation offers a variety of services to enrich visitors' experience. These include
- the B&E Goulandris Shop, where visitors can find art-inspired products and unique gifts.
- - a Café - Restaurant, where guests can enjoy a perfect blend of elegant cuisine and refined surroundings.
Additionally, the B&E Goulandris Foundation offers rental services for its museum spaces in both Athens and Andros, which are available for events and private functions, from corporate events and conferences to private dinners and social events.
