The "Theodoros Papagiannis" Museum of Contemporary Art is located at Elliniko, Ioannina, in the Municipality of Katsanochoria, in Greece

The Museum is housed in a fine school building, built by skilled masons from Epirus with money from the benefactor Nikolaos Mantelopoulos, from the same village. The school at one time had more than 150 students, but today it has very few.

Theodoros Papagiannis, http://theodoros-papagiannis.gr, offered his works to this Museum because he believes “that the best place is our village school. This is because the works which we exhibit directly concern this place. They were created by memories which have marked me and have kept me company throughout my life. They were created by powerful experiences which nourished my creativity. As I have written in an earlier text of mine: 'They sprouted like shoots among whatever else had accumulated upon them'. Nothing from my subsequent service in the course of art could prevent them from making their presence felt. They called for pressing plastic interpretation, they sought expression speak."
