Since its establishment in 1928, the Bank has put together important collections of paintings, sculptures, prints, mosaics, works in stained glass, coins, medals, etc., as part of its commitment to the preservation of the nation’s cultural heritage for future generations.

Taking advantage of the possibilities offered by modern technology, the Bank has now put a representative sample of its art collection online, thus making it accessible to a much wider audience.

The Virtual Gallery features 169 paintings and prints from the 19th and 20th centuries, by such artists as Volanakis, Gysis, Iakovidis, Maleas, Triantafyllidis, Fokas, Tsarouchis, Kosmadopoulos, Prekas, Tetsis, etc., with detailed information and expert commentaries, as well as artist biographies, in Greek and English.

An innovative technique enables an interactive virtual walk through a series of exhibition rooms, inspired from the actual premises of the Bank’s Head Office on 21 El. Venizelou Avenue in Athens. All of the works can be viewed in full-screen mode and zoomed into for high-resolution detail.

The url address for the Virtual Gallery is at: http://virtualgallery.bankofgreece.gr/
