Siopis

From big group shows at the country's top institutions to fascinating solo exhibitions at the city's galleries and art spaces, this is a great time to plan a visual arts-hopping tour of Athens.

The National Museum of Contemporary Art (Kallirrois & Frantzi, emst.gr) presents Penny Siopis' "For Dear Life. A Retrospective," marking the first major museum retrospective in Europe of the influential artist's work. Running until November 10, the exhibition is part of "What If Women Ruled the World? Part 3," a series highlighting women artists.
