Art & Exhibitions

The building has essentially been transformed into “Portraits in a Different Kind of Mansion”, showcasing the transformation of art styles within the mansion. This collection includes furniture, mirrors, and porcelain, creating a special atmosphere where fine art pieces come to life, offering visitors a unique experience.
The mansion permanently hosts the exhibition “Portraits in a Different Kind of Mansion.”

 In the living room, visitors can appreciate various paintings that convey a range of moods, reflecting both historical and contemporary worlds. The dining room maintains the presence of carved furniture, a rich library, and various tasteful items such as silver, porcelain, Murano glass, and Czech crystals. Special attention is given to chandeliers, which are pieces from the old Hungarian Parliament. Since the late 19th century, these items have not only been collectibles but essential parts of a mansion.

 “We have repurposed the old, more ‘heavy’ style furniture and combined them with new materials with great care. The result has justified us, achieving a harmonious coexistence of the old with the new.”

The mansion’s art gallery includes works from local institutions and old houses. Among these are two distinct exhibitions of significant photography art creators, adorning the interior staircase :
– The exhibition : “With Eyes Closed to the Light” by Antonio Manta and
– The exhibition “Why Did You Give Me This Favor” from the book of the  renowned journalist Stratis Limnios,
as well as works by visual artist Sakis Papagiannis.

In addition, there are works displayed in the Living Room as well as in the Library from : 
– The professional Photographer Vangelis Rassias
– The Painter George Pennas
