The building is the summer house, built in 1926 by the great actress of the Greek Theatre Marika Kotopouli. During German occupation, the house was seized. Later, it housed the Police precinct of the area, and finally, the municipality, aided by the Greek Actors’ Guild, took to restoring the listed building, under great respect, showcasing its architectural mentality and the exquisite internal spaces, where nowadays events of the highest cultural expression and creation are hosted.
This museum does not have any exhibits of Kotopouli. It is on its own a museum piece, for the time being hosts only artistic venues and it is a permanent home for the artistic collection of Konstantinos Ioannidis.
