The Hellenic Museum is honoured to announce that internationally acclaimed Greek musician Konstantinos Argiros has raised $150,000 to support the creation of its forthcoming Children’s Gallery, opening in 2026.
These funds have been raised through proceeds from Argiros’ sold-out Melbourne show on Saturday 25 October. This weekend, his fans will come together at Margaret Court Arena not only to celebrate music, but to contribute to a legacy project for future generations.
The Hellenic Museum Children’s Gallery will be the first of its kind in Australia – a dedicated space where young visitors can explore ancient and modern Greek culture through immersive, play-based learning. Designed to inspire creativity, curiosity and connection, the Gallery will help ensure that today’s children grow to become tomorrow’s cultural custodians.
“We are deeply grateful to Konstantinos for his incredible generosity and vision, and to everyone who has supported us by attending his concerts,” said Sarah Craig, Director of the Hellenic Museum. “This invaluable gift will help us create a space that empowers children to engage with art, history and culture in meaningful and joyful ways.”
“It’s an honour to support the Hellenic Museum and its mission to connect young people with our shared heritage,” said Konstantinos Argiros. “Music brings people together – and with this project, we can build something lasting for the next generation.”
The Hellenic Museum looks forward to sharing more about the Children’s Gallery in coming months, and extends heartfelt thanks to Konstantinos Argiros, his management, Juggernaut Entertainment, and the concertgoers who have made this remarkable contribution possible.
