Athens Museums

Main Museums in the centre of Athens

The city has the highest concentration in the world of Classical Greek finds. It has a large number of monuments, sculptures and objects of ancient Greece which have been kept with care and restored with advanced techniques. Greek archaeologists are constantly in contact with their English, French, German, Italian and American colleagues who have established Athens as their base, in order to increase knowledge of the Greek civilisation which was the source of inspiration for all western culture.
