Athens’ EMST To Be Fully Operational In 2018

The National Museum of Contemporary Art (EMST) located in the heart of Athens will be fully operational next year, its director Katerina Koskina recently announced at a press conference.

Construction on the former 1950s brewery to transform it into an 18,142m2 museum space started some 11 years ago. The legal procedures however have still not been completed, resulting in its losing a significant grant by the Stavros Niarchos Foundation (SNF) and being unable to open fully to the public. But now, the museum’s regulatory framework is in place with 58 employees and all debts settled. That means that it can re-apply for the SNF donation and the museum can be put into full operation.
