Lots of interesting exhibit types you don't see in the more popular places; not particularly visited by tourists so good to spend time there.

Good little shop with quality souvenirs; cafe.

Admission worth €6 of anybody's money.

Closed Tuesday, Free Thursday and also if you are a family with more than three children - there is a toys and games collection.

Also other collections in annexes around town: for example, one of the most important collections of Islamic art outside the Islamic world.

Best time to enjoy Plaka is early spring and late October when the tourist wave has gone. There are many places and museums to visit in Plaka among them the museums of Greek folk art, the Children's Museum, the Frissiras Museum of Greek painting and the Greek music instruments museum. In Plaka you can see also the Roman bath of the Winds and the Lysicrates monument, next to it was the Capuchin Monastery where Lord Byron stayed. Across the Adrianou street and on the steps of Plaka you will find many shops, cafes and restaurants.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/13216 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/12798 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/12798 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/5698 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/5698 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/5647
It is mainly a museum of modern Greek art, which presents important works of art and sculpture created by Greek artists of the second half of the 20th-century. A general survey of the works clearly shows the significant influence of classical, Byzantine and folk tradition.

Good collection of work by artists who will be unfamiliar to most but none the worse for that. Beautiful setting, and can be combined with a visit to the impressive Peania Cave which is within walking distance if you are feeling energetic.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/5647 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/5637
And if you have a European student card you get in for free at other times. I have a rather dodgy looking student card from five years ago for a language school I worked at in Spain, and that was good enough for every place I went to in Greece (Mycenae, Corinth, etc...).]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/5637 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/5574 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/5574 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/5571 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/5571 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/1592 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/1592 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/5708 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/5708 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/5654 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/5654 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/284 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/284
