The amount of exhibits housed here is incredible. You could go for 2 days and still not be able to take it all in. Its laid out really well and they have timed entry making it easy to linger. We didn't find an audio tour necessary due to detailed descriptions. Highly recommend

The museum was amazing. The audio guides were informative, easy to use and well done. The exhibits were labeled perfectly and helped us better understand the history of Greece and Athens. The collections were so impressive.

A must-see when visiting Athens! Tickets bought on Headout, perfect 👍 This museum contains some absolutely remarkable exhibits, the only downside is the lack of structure in the tour itinerary, it's a bit hard to see how the exhibits are organized, it's a bit disjointed... as it's already taking half a day to see everything, a bit more information on the tour itinerary would be welcome 😉

A great museum, unfortunately the audio guide was not up to date. The exhibits were in different rooms to those indicated in the guide, so we could only ask the staff for information. At some point we switched off the audio guide. What a pity.

Immersive journey into Greek history

From the moment you step into the Athens National Archaeological Museum, your journey into the heart of Greek history begins. As you wander through the museum's vast collection, you'll discover treasures spanning over 5,000 years, ranging from the Neolithic era to late Antiquity. The iconic golden Mask of Agamemnon and the magnificent statues of Zeus and Poseidon are surely highlights, offering an unparalleled glimpse into the past. Then there is a Bronze Head of a Boxer, found in Olympia depicting the boxer with a swollen right eye. It's all in the details!
