The Christos and Souli Kapralos Foundation, made up of the sculptor's complete works, his museum in Aegina, as well as a significant sum of money for its expansion and other large endowments, such as the Frosso Efthymiadi-Menegaki and Bella Raftopoulou estates, also became part of the National Gallery.
Major donations, including those by Giannis Moralis, Nikos Nikolaou, Ioannis Avramidis, Panagiotis Tetsis, Dimitris Mytaras, Alekos Fassianos, etc. have enriched the museum's collections. Moreover, substantial acquisitions were made, including 2 masterpieces by Domenicos Theotokopoulos' "The Entombment of Christ" and "St. Peter", as well as significant sculptures by Rodin and Bourdelle.
