The museum is modern and nice, and the resort linked to it is calm and clean.
However, the restaurant at the resort wasn't very good in terms of service.

this museum is a piece of art in itself, without even mentioning the items on display. a huge rusty looking cube sitting right there on the mediterranean coast, this museum is ful of art hailing from different eras and artists. It also provides countless photo opportunities, from the building itself all the way to the pier that stretches towards the sea.

The museum’s collection is truly great, full of art and history. The location if the museum is right on the shore of the beach which makes everything a million times better because you can enjoy the beauty of the museum to then take a walk on the deck and really experience a fantastic and memorable time there!

Visited the museum with kids and friends. There is a variety of artists displaying different types of art pieces, paintings mainly, and a few historic relics from different periods. The place looks neat and very spacious. Magnificent view.

New museum/gallery in an unexpected place. Nice and airy setting, different artists on display. Nice outside deck to enjoy a coffee.

It is a new private gallery/museum in Chekka
Entrance is free and parking is available on site.
Building is like a cube - the outside is made of metal (with a copper look)
First floor houses the current theme and the upper floor has some interesting collection of archaeological artifacts.
There are a few sculptures outside, there is a small garden and long jetty into the water.
They will start to have musical events on the property - they are expanding into the land next to them - looks like an interesting outdoor project.

It's a decent start for a bigger project as one might have the impression. The museum has a nice beach deck for a relaxing small cop of coffee. We understood that there are plans for a restaurant and a coffee shop in the near future. Definitely will be going regularly to enjoy the calmness of the place when the coffee shop is ready.

The museum is unique and one of its kind with a large selection of artifacts from different eras as well as a collection of modern art paintings and installations.. the museum boutique is small but offers some nice souvenirs. The entrance to the museum is free for everyone and behind the premises is a nice walk on the beach.
