Tip: Highlight text to annotate itX
The Museum of Contemporary Art was inaugurated on the 28th of July 1979 by the Goulandris
Foundation in Hora, capital of Andros. The founders wished to establish a small contemporary
art museum which would be designed and outfitted according to the latest museum standards,
with a view to house international exhibitions.
The museum was intended to exhibit the collection of works by a local sculptor, Michael Tombros,
which he bequeathed to his native island.
Every summer, the
museum organizes temporary exhibitions showing works of contemporary major artists, which
are a major attraction that drow art lovers from near and far.
