On Tuesday, Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis highlighted Greece’s vibrant contemporary art scene during a presentation of a new app at the National Museum of Contemporary Art.

This app will change that perception."

The app offers easy access to contemporary art exhibits, helping to promote Greece’s cultural present alongside its historic past. Mitsotakis emphasized the importance of protecting artists’ rights amid the rise of digital and AI-created art.
