Full description

The Museum of Modern Greek Culture occupies the domed Tzistarakis Mosque, built in 1759 and now an annex of the Museum of Greek Folk Art. Its two levels combine monuments and archaeological findings with displays that sketch a portrait of the modern Greek person against a historical backdrop.

Reviewers value it as a way to meet Greek culture beyond the ancient world, and mention audio apps and an on-site cafe. At around 45 minutes and a modest ticket price, it fits easily between other sights in the old centre.

Reviews

This was a great museum to visit in Athens. Full of history, and the audio apps are great, need to download before your visit. It offers 2 levels of monuments and archeological findings, it has a cafe, and a museum stores with unique gifts. Plan on spending at least 4 hours.
