There are also four major donations of sculptural works of Ioannis Avramidis, Frosso Efthimiadi-Menegaki, Bella Raftopoulou and Christos Kapralou.

Two major exhibitions with different projects and on “New Acquisitions” were organized in the premises of the National Gallery in 2006 and 2007, and a short exhibition at the Annex Nafplion 2007. These exhibitions showed the evolution of Greek art from the 19th to the 20th century and modern creations with paintings, installations, structures, sculptures and reliefs.
