Hellenic Post circulates the commemorative stamp series “Museums of Contemporary Art” on 27 May 2026, featuring works from the National Museum of Contemporary Art (EMST) and MOMus Thessaloniki. These museums are the vibrant pulse of Greek contemporary creativity, offering bold exhibitions and fresh perspectives that give art voice, space and power — places where inspiration meets the present and the future takes shape.

Purchase the new EMST and MOMus stamps and showcase two of the country’s most dynamic hubs of contemporary creation — small works of art worth sending out into the world.
