Art and Culture in Athens

"The National Archaeological Museum is Greece’s biggest museum, with over 11,000 items from the Neolithic to the Classical era. Statues, gold jewelry, weapons, and pottery are displayed in 65 thematic rooms, so ready yourself to spend many hours here. To make the most of your experience, we recommend the audio tour. Τhe exhibits that stand out are the gold mask from a Mycenaean royal tomb, a fully preserved maiden statue, the real-life size racehorse statue, and the first analog computer. Thanks to its central location, close to the Omonia metro station, the people of Athens regularly frequent the museum’s café, tucked away inside a lush urban garden. Occasionally, the café hosts temporary exhibitions and cultural events." - MATADOR_NETWORK
