The experience
Entry to Greece’s largest archaeological museum, with more than 11,000 items spanning prehistory to late antiquity.
Originally built to house 19th-century excavation finds from Attica, the National Archaeological Museum grew into Greece’s central archaeological collection, with galleries covering Mycenaean gold, Cycladic figurines, archaic and classical sculpture, and Egyptian antiquities.
The included digital guide gives context to the collection’s highlights, from the Mask of Agamemnon to the Antikythera Mechanism, at whatever pace suits the visit.
