Athens may be known to be quite abundant when it comes to old museums, but it has a number of modern museums up its sleeves as well. One of the newest museums in the city is the Museum of Contemporary European Art which holds the collection of modern artworks of Vlassis Frissiras. One of the must-see modern Athens attractions, the private museum is housed inside two neoclassical mansions that have been beautifully renovated.
Located right in the heart of Plaka, which is in the old town of Athens, the museum showcases some 3,000 sculptures and paintings. Among the artworks included in the museum's collection are those that were done by a number of the most popular Greek artists. These include Moralis, Psychopedis, Tetsis, Tsoklis and Kessanlis. There are also European artists whose works are showcased in the museum as well and among these are Adami, Paladino and Blake, among many others. Among the Athens attractions that many people like to visit, there is also a cafe in the museum to provide light refreshments to visitors.
