Some of the museum's oldest artifacts are exhibited in this collection dating all the way back to the 6th mil. BC.
Plain and mysterious, these figurines (3rd mil. BC.) came from the Cycladic islands and influenced modern art some 5,000 years later...
With opulent artifacts such as the 'Mask of Agamemnon', this collection dates from the 2nd mil. BC., the time of the not-so-mythical Trojan War.
From the largest volcanic eruption mankind has witnessed in the 17th cent. BC., which probably gave rise to the story of the Lost Atlantis...
The world's earliest analogue computer, dating from the 2nd cent. BC, was used to predict astronomical positions, and inspired the latest Indiana Jones movie.
This brilliant collection shows the evolution of the sculptures that shaped western art, with some of the world's few surviving bronze statues.
Typical as well as unexpected vases and figurines from several periods and regions create the most stunning collection one could see in Greece.
King Leonidas and his 300 men stood against the Persian Empire sacrificing themselves for the freedom of Greece. A small collection of findings attests the legendary battle of Thermopylae.
