Om
Raske fakta: Step inside and you'll wander past towering kouroi and glittering gold jewelry, the dense display making each gallery feel like a cathedral of objects. More than 11,000 artifacts are arranged to reward patient, curious eyes, from haunting funerary masks to tiny ivory carvings that reveal themselves up close.
Høydepunkter: Peer into the dim glass case where a 2,000-year-old mechanical device with at least 30 interlocking bronze gears glints like a tiny celestial clock, a relic that once predicted lunar and planetary cycles. Wander the marble halls among more than 11,000 objects, from Heinrich Schliemann's gilded 'Mask of Agamemnon' to battered bronze gods, and you'll hear quiet footsteps echo like a continuing conversation between centuries.
Insidertips
- Arrive at opening or after 16:00 to avoid the biggest tour groups.
- Wear comfortable shoes, floors and staircases are extensive and exhibits span several levels.
- Pick up or download the museum map and rent an audio guide to follow the chronological displays.
- Flash photography and tripods are not permitted, look for brighter halls and placards for great photo spots.
