What you need to know
- Shorter winter hours from mid-November, when the doors close at 3:30pm (Tuesdays open 1pm to 8pm all year)
- More than 20,000 objects across five collections, so pick two or three rooms (the gold, the mummies, the bronzes) instead of trying to see it all
- Café in the sculpture garden out front, for a break between galleries, and you can use it without a ticket
About
Greece's largest archaeology museum holds more than 20,000 objects, spanning Greek history from prehistory to late antiquity. Kids tend to make for the Mycenaean gold, including the mask once wrongly named for Agamemnon, the Artemision Bronze, Egyptian mummies, Bronze Age wall paintings from Akrotiri on Santorini, and the Antikythera mechanism.
Out front, a garden lined with sculptures has a café.
