National Archaeological Museum of Athens

The National Archaeological Museum is the largest museum in Greece and one of the most important archaeological museums in the world. Originally intended to house the finds from 19th-century excavations in Attica and other sites, it gradually grew into the central National Archaeological Museum, enriched with finds from many different regions. Its world-renowned collections, with over 11,000 pieces, offer a panorama of ancient Greek culture, from the dawn of prehistory to late antiquity.
