About

The National Archaeological Museum (NAM) is the biggest in Greece and one of the most emblematic in the world. It is housed in a neoclassical building in the center of Athens, the capital of the Greek state. Founded in 1866, it was given its final form by the German architect Ernst Ziller and was inaugurated in 1889. The exhibition spaces of the Museum display a panorama of ancient Greek civilization dating mainly from 7000 BC to AD 500, as well as later artifacts. Among the 11,000 exhibits, there are works in marble, clay, bronze, gold, and other noble metals, which come from Greece, Cyprus, Egypt, Italy, and other regions of the Mediterranean world. The National Archaeological Museum is active in a variety of cultural events and projects on national and international levels.
