The museum is very well documented and great educational opportunity. They had an exhibition of Jeff Koons that was only one piece. 😑 I stopped in the cafe and the prices were shocking. More than double what you would find in a nice restaurant in the neighboring area. Same for the museum store, also very expensive. I typically buy things in the museum store knowing that some of the money goes to support the museum. But in this case, prices were so high. They had very limited staff, but they did a good job.
I visited the Jeff Koons exhibition with his Balloon Venus of Laspugue and the interaction with various paleolithic statuettes. Very impressive work, not only Koons's sculpture, but the whole exhibition and the way the museum has arranged it. I hugely recommend this exhibition, but also the permanent collections of the museum of course, which shed light into a very important civilisation. A gem of a museum in downtown Athens.
A great place for culture and good food. The museum has 4 floors, each represents a different location /time period and each floor is unique and very well designed. On the ground floor there is a very artistic and unique gift shop and a restaurant with amazing high-end food. Highly recommended!
Very well cured exhibitions! Cycladic civilization was the least known for me and there so many amazing findings. The room. with the Cypriot antiquities was very interesting and the way the pottery unfolds throughout the centuries. Of course the classic era with the red and black pottery has so many treasures to show. Definitely recommended
Small museum. They have some interesting artifacts from the Cycladic Islands. They also have some exhibits from other areas of Greece and over several historical periods. However, the National Archaeological Museum in Athens has a far superior number and quality of artifacts related to the Cycladic Islands. My suggestion is to visit this museum only after you have exhausted the list of historic places to visit in Athens.
