About this audio guide
This guide to MOMus, the Museum of Contemporary Art in Thessaloniki, starts with a single gift of art and the odd arithmetic of building a museum around it. It follows the collection from a borrowed factory onto the Helexpo fairground, and through the new wing and rebuild of two thousand one and two thousand two. Best heard outside the entrance, with the trade-fair pavilions around you.
