The National Archaeology Museum of Athens

A Visit to see some of the Archaeological Treasures
of Ancient Greece in the National Museum

Before the Athens 2004 Olympics we were among the first people to visit the newly rennovated National Archaeological Museum. It was really a treat to see the ancient statues, pottery, jewelry, weapons and utensils in their new improved surroundings. Since then they have opened another wing and have hundreds if not thousands of other artifacts on display. This page will give you an idea of what is in store for you at the National Museum of Athens, one of the best, if not the best archaeology museums in the world. This should be on your list of places not to miss while in Athens, Greece. Be sure to see the Antikithira device, an ancient computer, which was on display elsewhere when I took these photos. For hours and directions to the museum visit the Athens Museums Page
