“The project of converting the Neo Voustasi into a bi-thematic Museum tries to show that, despite the changes of use that took place in the estate, depending on the period of the reign, the principles that seemed to govern its use were the protection of the environment and the circular economy. The current image of the estate is largely due to the initiatives that were implemented especially during the reigns of George I and Paul, as based on the sources, it appears that during these two periods of the estate’s history, agricultural production was developed. There was a concerted effort at systematic management with the intention of being a model. The existing natural resources (vegetation, soil, subsoil, water), the natural capital were exploited, as infrastructures, equipment and service networks were created, a work system and a small society of workers were formed, and ways were planned for the business development of the estate. said the Minister of Culture, Lina Mendoni. And he added:
“The conversion of Neoi Voustasi into a Museum is part of the ongoing program of the Ministry of Culture for the museum promotion of selected historical buildings in Fr. royal estate, with evidence that has been identified and saved on the grounds of Tatoi. The completion of the projects by the relevant Departments of the Ministry of Culture is expected to offer visitors a multi-thematic museum experience, framed by a variety of activities, in a restored natural environment.
»Our goal is to restore the monument building, the works of which are in progress, and to reuse it by creating a museum space that offers a comprehensive visit experience, to different categories of public, highlighting the various aspects of agricultural production. At the same time, the building is suitable for hosting the exhibition of royal cars, which have also been declared monuments. Given these, the promotion of Neo Voustasi has independent value as a presentation of a model – for the data of the time – of agricultural and livestock production which gives priority to the traditional way of cultivation, which respects nature. The organization of the vehicle exhibition, on the other hand, allows the highlighting of the car-monuments that were used in the last phase of the reign in Greece, which present a particular aesthetic, economic and technological value. The exhibitions have a strong educational and entertaining character. Special care has been taken to make the Museum fully accessible.”

As the Ministry of Foreign Affairs informs, the two permanent exhibitions will be hosted in the building of Neos Voustasiou. The mission of the Museum, which is located at the heart of the production-exhibition unit of the estate, is the highlighting of the agricultural and livestock model of entrepreneurship, the connection with the international, national and local history related to the estate, the highlighting of the historical and technological value of cars of t. royal family, as some of them are limited production models, while most were used in the public appearances and functions of the representatives of the royal institution.
The Exhibition of Agricultural Production is located in the north and east wings of the building, while the Exhibition of Royal Cars is in the west wing. In the agricultural and livestock exhibition section, evidence of the agricultural and livestock production of the estate will be exhibited, with separate sections for the dairy production exhibition. Also, the equipment found in Voustasio and related to the agricultural production of oil and wine will be preserved and displayed. The exhibition equipment is simple, with clean geometry and clear aesthetic differentiation from the shell, typologically homogeneous and grouped, depending on the use it is called to serve, while its arrangement in the space is independent of its geometry and structural elements.
In the independent exhibition section of royal cars, eight cars will be on display: A white Fiat 500 Trademark, two MG Trademark cars, four Rolls-Royce Trademark cars and an electric Victor, out of a total of 10 royal cars designated as monuments. In the same section, the driver’s licenses of Pavlos and Frederica and photographic material are displayed. On the floor, as an independent unit, a multi-purpose room is set up for events and interactive parts of the exhibition. The immediate surrounding area of the building takes the form of a short walk and recreation around it.
