With the exhibition "Urbanography," curated by Syrago Tsiara, the National Gallery explores the urban transformation of Athens from 1950 to 1970 via the works of 78 artists. "It came out of a desire to seek out images of life in Athens, and thus to become part of a city where I was not raised in," said Tsiara, director of the National Gallery - Alexandros Soutsos Museum.
