"Lovely little set up chronicling the history of Greek cinema. Surprisingly, there’s a lot to do given the small space the collection is housed in, while it’s location next to the photography gallery and contemporary art space (not to mention the Kitchen bar) make it a good destination for a day out."

"A very good effort and probably the only museum of its kind at Greece. Although needs a better museology and much better narrative. Other than that ..... enjoy."
