MOMus, still socially active and in the present condition, recommends selected works exclusively from its collections and exhibitions in its online program "MOMus Resilience Project". At the same time, MOMus wants to be closer to the people who work, create, express themselves through their homes, and recommends aspects of "home", that is home life, as artists have perceived it to be in tempore non suspecto.

Our home, our personal space functions constantly as inspiration for artists. Such an image of memory, escape, loneliness and personal observation is depicted by the writer, Margarita Lymberaki in her artwork Still Life. Few everyday objects placed in space creating a composition realistic and familiar such as the characteristic images that the writer narrates in her literary work, Three Summers (1946): “I remember a few things from our old house. It was somewhere near Lycabettus and had a terrace overlooking Faliro. My father lived with us and we had a greyhound called Dick. I also remember two Chinese vases in the two corners of the hall. Nothing else".
