In the centre of Athens, a museum in a neoclassical villa with collections covering every period of Greek history.

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. See the website.
