Museum of Greek Children's Art in Athens

I have certainly visited some interesting places during my ongoing project to see every museum in Athens. This one was really special though, and it doesn't take that long to go around.

If you are visiting Athens even for only a couple of days, try to fit this museum into your itinerary!

All the artwork on display in the Museum of Children's Art in Athens is created by kids under the age of 15.

About the Museum

Basically, the museum functions as a centre to both display children's art, and to encourage children in their artistic endeavours. It also goes one step further than this, by having a philosophy of education through art.

It does this by having themed exhibitions. One great theme is entitled ‘Alone or Unique? Diversity and Racism'. It's refreshing to see issues such as this being addressed in Athens.

All the works of art hanging on the walls about the subject were created by kids. In fact, when I visited, a local school class was there at the same time.

They were creating their own artworks based upon this theme. I somehow don't remember my art lessons at school being this interesting!

The Museum of Greek Children's Art in Athens, is one of only a handful of museums around the world to feature solely children's art work.

There is not much more to write about really. As I said, it is a museum featuring children's artwork, and something that you really have to see for yourself. Some of the artwork is absolutely incredible, and so you could very well get the chance to see the first works of the next Picasso!
