Institution : Municipality of Larissa
In 1981, in a letter to the Mayor of Larissa, Aristeidis Lamproulis, Georgios and Kaiti Katsigra decided to donate to the Municipality of Larissa the valuable collection of 781 paintings, engravings and drawings, on the condition that a building and a legal entity be created with the name “Municipal Art Gallery of Larissa G.I. Katsigras Museum”. The Municipal Art Gallery of Larissa G.I. Katsigras Museum, from the very first year of its establishment in 1983 until today, fully integrated in the social fabric of the city, has contributed in many ways to the establishment of fine arts in Larissa, the wider region of Thessaly and nationwide.
