1829
The National Library of Greece (NLG) began its journey through time in 1829 and has been the driving force behind the efforts to trace, organise, describe and preserve in perpetuity documents of Greek culture, as the custodian of the Greek literary heritage.
The National Library of Greece is a legal entity of public law established under the Ministry of Education, Research and Religious Affairs and is currently housed in three locations; the historic Vallianio, the Votanikos building and its new facilities at the Stavros Niarchos Foundation Cultural Center.
The National Library of Greece (NLG) announces the donation of 100,000 euros from the Stavros Niarchos Foundation (SNF) in the cherished memory of Filippos Tsimpoglou, Director General of the NLG (2014-2023). The donation has been approved to support the identification, documentation, cataloguing, preservation, and presentation of the NLG art collection in its entirety.
