Open-air Sculpture Gallery

Guided tours for adults

Experience the striking works of George Zongolopoulos under the open sky of the square, through a guided tour that blends art with the urban landscape.

Let’s explore together how sculpture engages in dialogue with the public realm.

The tour explores more than five decades of his artistic production through large-scale works displayed in freely accessible public spaces.

Admission is free of charge. Guided tours are held on the first Sunday of each month to ensure broad public access.

The outdoor sculpture gallery at George Zongolopoulos Square in Psychiko represents a dynamic interaction with art in public space.

The adult programme features:

  • Explore the green environment of the site on guided tours, discovering Zongolopoulos’s works across different phases of his career.

  • A historical and artistic overview examining the artist’s relationship with public space, his creative evolution, and the significance of his work within the urban context. 

  • It is an ideal experience for those wishing to encounter art “beyond the museum,” within a real urban environment, and to discover a different dimension of the city.
