History and teachings
The museum was born from the merger of four Thessaloniki-based museums/art venues (the State Museum of Contemporary Art, the Macedonian Museum of Contemporary Art, the Thessaloniki Museum of Photography and the Contemporary Art Center of Thessaloniki) and the Athens-based Museum Alex Mylona. Thus, it is a single, large, integrated public institution that displays modern and contemporary art, photography, sculpture and experimental arts.

Cross-cultural dimensions
Its founding was driven by the steadfast, shared ambition of creating synergies and setting common goals for the promotion of contemporary Greek culture not only at the local and national but also at the international level. As a result, it collaborates and networks with important cultural institutions in Greece and abroad, and showcasts the works of both Greek and international artists.
