The Frissiras Museum is a museum for contemporary European painting in Greece. It was inaugurated by President of the Republic Constantine Stefanopoulos on November 27, 2000 and was officially opened by the Mayor of Athens Dimitris Avramopoulos on December 4, 2000. The museum is a non-profit origination founded and administered by the Vlassis Frissiras family. The Frissiras Museum houses the private collection of Vlassis Frissiras, its founder, an attorney. He began collecting works by young Greek visual artists in 1978, with the aim of forming a collection consisting of paintings centered on the human form and body, and figurative painting that reinstates methodology marginalized by newer art forms.
