It is part of the Metropolitan Organisation of Thessaloniki Fine Arts Museums (MOMus).
[1] The museum is located between the neighbourhoods of Thiseion and Psirri and it is housed in a restored neo-classical building with Art Nouveau elements dating from 1920 which was designed by the architect Vassilios Tsagris and was subsequently acquired in 1992 by the sculptor Alex Mylona.
[2] The museum was founded in 2004 as the Museum of Contemporary Art Alex Mylona[3] to showcase the work and life of the Greek sculptor Alex Mylona (1923 - 2016) and to provide a venue for young artists.
The museum's permanent collection includes works from Mylona's long artistic career, such as sculptures, but also drawings, paintings, collages, tapestries and prints.
Since 2018, it has been one of the five museums/cultural sites of the Metropolitan Organization of Thessaloniki Fine Art Museums.
