Location: Pyrgos
Don't miss: Museums guide (free admission dates and other useful info)

Found right next to the Chalepas Museum in Pyrgos, the Tinian Artists Museum displays works of the island's finest artists. Founded in 1930, the museum was originally housed in the courtyard of the Church of Evangelistria, before being moved to the picturesque village of Pyrgos. Most of the works showcased here were bought by the Holy Foundation of Evangelistria, while the rest were donated by the artists themselves.

Among the exhibits, you can see remarkable creations from some of the most important figures in the artistic history of Tinos. These include the works of Yannouls Chalepas, Georgios Vitalis, Dimitrios Filippotis, Lazaros Sochos, and more. Along with the marble sculptures, the original plaster models with distinct points of instruction set by the artists are also on display. This allows visitors to get an unprecedented look into the artistic process of marble crafting, further preserving this centuries-old tradition.

The museum is open to visitors every day except for Monday, from 11:00 to 18:00. It has a combined entrance fee with the Yannoulis Chalepas Museum which is situated next door, housed in the ancestral home of the famed Greek artist.
