An old estate near the new Athens Airport is the site of the Vorres Museum. One of the museum's two collections contains objects of traditional folk art, pottery, rugs, antique furniture, paintings and many centuries-old items used in everyday life along with some archaeological finds. The second collection contains splendid works of modern art, consisting of paintings and sculptures created by Greek artists in the second half of the 20th century. An additional draw of the museum are the splendid gardens, which are a popular banqueting venue during summer. The museum is open on Saturday and Sunday. Mid-week visits for groups can be arranged, as well.
