Municipal Art Gallery of Thessaloniki - Casa Bianca

About

The Municipal Art Gallery of Thessaloniki, founded in 1966, is housed in Casa Bianca, a listed monument of the recent architectural heritage of Thessaloniki. Casa Bianca was built by the Italian architect Piero Arrigoni in the early 20th century and housed the Jewish family Fernandez-Diaz. It is considered a characteristic example of architectural eclecticism. The building, property of the Municipality of Thessaloniki since 1990, was restored in 1997. Casa Bianca is hosting temporary exhibitions on the ground floor, a permanent exhibition of the works of Nikolaos Gyzis on the first floor and part of the Modern Greek engraving and scupture collection in the attic. In the lower ground floor the history of the building, the Fernandez’ family and the surrounding area are presented.
