Benaki museum of contemporary art is a nice place to isolate yourself from the city. Maybe it’s my timing, but whenever I go there it’s unusually peaceful and quiet, unlike the hectic atmosphere in the center of the city. You can just sit and read a book in the courtyard or draw, read, contemplate the next great move in life that will make you famous or save the world … It seems that all contemporary art museums offer you that - a comfortable, open, quiet space to do whatever you feel like doing…
