This is a very nice museum.🤩
Very open. Able to handle many people at once.👍🏻 Beautiful displays.
Very clever how it is laid out. Especially the third floor which highlights the upper fresco of the Parthenon. You can walk around the whole outside of the fresco just above eye level while looking out the window at the actual monument!
Very clever. Very well done!
And when you are finished inside you can go outside and around the path to the left and it will take you underneath the museum 😲 to the ruins beneath the floor that you see when you enter.

I would definitely recommend stopping here before or after visiting the Acropolis! I loved seeing the Caryatids. There are also great views of the city if you go up towards the restaurant. (If you want to skip lines and get inside quicker, you can order tickets online).
An Amazing Museum ! We took the short walk down from the Parthenon. Built on top of ruins , which you can view from catwalks . You have to leave the museum and enter from the left side .
The museum is 1st class and has a nice restaurant. FYI ...No drinking fountains, and if you use the elevators, they are a bit confusing . They don't all go to all the floors .
Incredible history and artifacts ! A must-see . Very enjoyable.

I really love this museum, good location, great ancient art and a fantastic building! I booked tickets via an app and entry in the early morning at about 9am. It was not crowded so I could see the Greek art details slowly. Do not forget to visit the basement where full of wells and can see the entire plan for the place.
It’s a very good museum. The museum feels very open even when there are large crowds in there. I would recommend to use a tour to go through the museum as they will curate the history well. Otherwise you will be only looking at statues without context. There is a large portion of the Parthenon on the third floor which should not be missed. You will also get a good view of the Parthenon from this floor. The museum is well built with some archaeological ruins beneath the museum floor which can be seen though then glass flooring. Overall a great visit. Again make sure to use a tour guide so that you can understand what you are viewing and opportunity to skip the line.
Incredible museum filled with tonnes of information and historically significant statues and artifacts. I highly recommend the audio exhibit tour, which lets you have an audio guide at your own pace.
My favourite section was the top floor where you get to walk around the facade of the Parthenon. They've done a great job giving you a feeling of how it would have been in its prime. The cafe is great as well. Definitely a must visit in Athens before climbing the Acropolis

Amazing museum, the architecture and design are magnificent. It is built over the ancient ruins of the town,which you can see it from above through the glass panels as you walk through as well.
Huge collection of artifacts, all showcased elegantly.
The staff are helpful even at the busiest of times.
The whole building is made out of glass which gives amazing views to Athens town and the Acropolis.
There's a great view of the Parthenon from level 3 and from the Cafe which has indoor and an outdoor patio.
A must see before heading up the hill to the Acropolis!
