About Vorres Museum
The Vorres Museum in Paiania, near Athens, presents itself as a diachronic venue for folk and contemporary art, set on a sprawling site with gardens and courtyards. The collection includes more than 6,000 exhibits that reflect four millennia of Greek history and art. The museum was founded by the Greek philanthropist Ian Vorres, who, after studying art in Canada, met Grand Duchess Olga Alexandrovna, sister of the last czar, and wrote her biography. The Vorres family donated the museum to the Greek state, so today visitors get an impressive look at the country's cultural development.
