Museum of Contemporary Art – Goulandris Foundation
Μουσείο Σύγχρονης Τέχνης Άνδρου
A contemporary art museum founded by a shipping dynasty on the island. Its summer exhibitions have shown works by Picasso, Matisse, Chagall and other masters.
Founded in 1979 by shipowners Basil and Elise Goulandris through their foundation, the museum is in old Chora and has old and new buildings. Its permanent collection covers 20th-century and contemporary Greek art. Each summer, an international exhibition focuses on a single master. Past shows have included Picasso, Matisse, Chagall, Miró and Mondrian, drawing visitors who travel to the island especially to see them. Admission costs about EUR 5–10. Opening hours are long in summer. In winter, the museum is often closed or open only on weekends, so check the website before you go.
