The Takis Foundation, aiming at the research, cultivation, development, promotion and dissemination of Greek and international art and science- and more specifically the art of sculptor Takis- organizes and devises a variety of educational programs and events for children and families, adolescents, the elderly, community organizations, school groups and educators.

The Foundation also organizes guided tours of all the grades of primary, middle and high school students daily, starting at 10:00. The students, accompanied by experienced guides, explore the surrounding area of the institution as well as the museum spaces.
This is the place of inspiration and creation of most of Takis’ works of art, thus the tour follows an imaginary route in the artistic path of the pioneering Greek sculptor and researcher. The aim of the tour is for young people to get to know and understand up close both the scientific and the artistic value of the artist’s works. Scientific questions, applications and laboratory experiments, the study of natural phenomena and energy for the protection of the environment and many more issues that have been of concern to Takis and through his unique sculptures he has given his own artistic answers.
