Have you ever felt the sense of anticipation experienced by the heroine of Nikephoros Lytras’s Waiting? How do you think Konstantinos Parthenis’s Bathers are feeling? Inspired by Lidia Brankovic’s children’s book The Grand Hotel of Feelings, and drawing on the practices of social and emotional learning in a museum setting, The Gallery of Feelings aspires to bring students into contact with the world of emotions through art, fostering empathy and understanding of oneself and others.
