We welcome the third issue of the MOMus magazine!
The main "protagonists" in this new issue are Frida Kahlo and Giorgos Zongolopoulo; the first, on the occasion of the international exhibition with her 241 photographs that is to be presented at MOMus-Thessaloniki Museum of Photography next October for the first time in Greece, the latter on the occasion of the restoration works of his artwork "Umbrellas" that will begin in September at MOMus-Museum of Contemporary Art.
The space dedicated to the collector George Costakis is a tribute to the most important collector of artworks from the avant-garde period in Russian Empire and the Soviet Union (1900–1930).
The exhibition “About Humans” will end on Sunday, 20 July 2025, due to scheduled renovation works in preparation for the upcoming exhibition “Frida Kahlo – Her Photos” (3 October 2025 – 4 January 4 2026).
Stories of the body for a future tomorrow
Thursday 20 & Wednesday 26 June 2024 | 20:00
Life appears in the world in the form of a body. The body experiences and at the same time records its history. It leaves its imprint on space and time.
Personal stories and favorite songs in the performance “Memories in Frames”, handmade sweets with Mammy’s Caravan, ornaments and many photographic clicks on Facebooth, “coming” on Sunday, December 15, 2024, 11:00-14:00, at MOMus-Thessaloniki Museum of Photography (Warehouse A, Pier A, Thessaloniki Port area) at our established pre-Christmas meeting “Merry CLICKmas”, with free participation for everyone, young and old!
The extremely important donation of the John E. Bowlt and Nicoletta Misler library to MOMus-Museum of Modern Art-Costakis Collection is sealed, after many months of negotiations, based on the mutual appreciation and recognition of the great work and the contribution of the two internationally recognised academics and the Museum in the field of study, research and their long-term collaboration.
The “Greek Art Now” initiative on the Google Arts & Culture platform is an ambitious project dedicated to the digitization and international promotion of selected artworks from the collections of three major Greek museum institutions: the National Gallery – Alexandros Soutsos Museum, the National Museum of Contemporary Art (EMST), and the Metropolitan Organisation of Museums of Visual Arts of Thessaloniki – MOMus.
MOMus participates again this year in the Thessaloniki International Book Fair, the great book festival in the city, with the MOMusStand at Pavilion 14, Stand 15, and a speech event on Saturday, May 10 at 19:00, at Pavilion 15, for the presentation of the two-volume illustrated encyclopedic dictionary by Apostolos Fokion Vettas, “Scenes.
