Introduction

The National Archaeological Museum is one of the largest and most precious ancient artifact museums in Athens, providing visitors with an opportunity to deeply understand ancient Greek history and culture. Although the appearance of the museum is unassuming and the interior decoration is relatively simple, it is renowned for its priceless collection of artifacts. Nearly 20,000 precious artifacts, such as the golden mask of Agamemnon, the bronze statue of the sea god Poseidon, and the mural of the boxing boy, are carefully displayed in fifty exhibition rooms on two floors. In addition to admiring the precious artifacts, visitors also have the chance to learn about Greek history, art, and culture. If time is limited, it is recommended to select the main exhibits to ensure that you see the most brilliant treasures of the museum.
