Education
The State Museum of Contemporary Art particularly emphasizes on its educational role. Organized educational programmes follow the contemporary museum educational methods and aim at bringing students of all ages in contact with its permanent collections as well as with the museum’s periodically organized exhibitions for children. Educational programs are designed and conducted by the personnel of the museum or by expert museum pedagogues who collaborate with the museum. The programs are adjusted to the age and the respective interests of each group in order to activate individual participation and initiative, so that the visit to the museums turns to a creative and pleasant experience.
The Museum also addresses to any social groups, to which it offers, after a contact with the administration, organized guided tours in English and Greek language.
Besides, within the framework of educational activities, the museum addresses to groups that have higher standards and specialized requirements. It organizes annual cycles of lectures in collaboration with Greek and foreign specialists on topics related to modern art as well as conducts scientific conferences with the participation of professors and students of Art history departments of Greek and foreign universities in order to exchange knowledge and experience, to examine closely specific scientific issues and to forward research.
