The National Gallery (Greek: Εθνική Πινακοθήκη, Ethniki Pinakothiki) is an art museum located on Vasilissis Sofias avenue in the Pangrati district, Athens, Greece. It is devoted to Greek and European art from the 14th century to the 20th century.

The newly renovated building reopened after an 8 year refurbishment, on 24 March 2021,[1] a day before the 200th anniversary of the Greek War of Independence.[2]
