About
Hellenic Cosmos is the cultural center of the Foundation of the Hellenic World, set in an old industrial complex on Pireos Street. Its landmark is the Tholos, a domed virtual-reality theater with a 350 m² screen that takes audiences from Ancient Olympia and the Agora of Athens to outer space.
Kids can also try VR headsets, watch children's theater at the Theatron, see exhibitions and join weekend workshops.
