Full description

Set in the Old Parliament building, the National Historical Museum tells the story of modern Greece through art, weapons and documents. Each room covers a specific event or period, running from roughly 1700 to 1945, and reviewers like that the information is thorough but never overwhelming.

The building itself also hosts evening events such as candlelight concerts. Allow around an hour, and note that the museum is closed on Mondays.

Reviews

This museum is definitely worth seeing in Athens!! It is very interesting and has a lot of statues that are fun to learn about. The descriptions are lacking for some of the statues but a lot of that if just lack of information. 2 rooms were also closed off and you couldn’t visit but there was still plenty to see. This…
