It has been operating since 1995 when the construction of the building complex, City Hall and Cultural Center was completed, as a donation by Nikos Porphyrogenis to his hometown of Agria. Since its celebratory inauguration with the opening of the major exhibition of Giorgio de Chirico's works in partnership with the Goulandris Foundation of Andros and the Municipality of Volos, the "Porphyrogeneio", as it became more widely known, offers its public cultural events in all fields of art, of letters and sciences: international scientific conferences, collaboration with the University of Thessaly, the 'Evmelia' International Music Festival and various musical evenings, theatrical performances and book presentations in the Foundation's library, which also functions as a lending facility. Special attention is given to children by means of creative activities, such as puppet making and animation (the Dollhouse has been operating since 2010), reading and creative writing. Local schools are often hosted on the premises of the Foundation, with their own educational and cultural activities. Moreover, the Foundation is a point of reference for cultural associations all across Magnesia.
