The efforts to establish the Municipal Gallery of Rhodes, now the Museum of Modern Greek Art, started as early as the 1950s, with the official opening being held on 1964. Thanks to the provision and work of its founder, Andreas Ioannou, the Municipal Gallery of Rhodes was hosted from its early beginnings in a restored historical building at the very entrance of the Medieval City of Rhodes, at Symi Square. It is the first ever Museum of Modern Greek Art to receive its own facilities, moreover inside the limits of a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Includes collections of paintings and engravings representing Greek art from the 20 th century’s distinguished artists, numerous sculptures, drawings and documents. These collections describe the history of Greece over the last hundred years.

It includes organized exhibitions of 20 th century Greek art from nationwide and international talent, innovative artistic inventions in nature, reports on prominent Greek and foreign artists, historical documents/reports and other visual arts of Dodecanesian origin.
