I loved the white-ground lekythoi, the images relating to death but so perfectly drawn in delicate beauty. And the Attic Red-figure potter of the early Classical Period. (480/475-450 BC). The grave stele. The marble sculptures. The iron tools. I'm a blacksmith and making a hammer is not easy!!! The jewelry, the history, the skill that was part of those ancient times we can't even begin to do today. The museum is extraordianry. One of the best I've seen in the world. Unfortunately, I'm unable to add photos from this laptop, but if I could there would be many!

Exceptional. One of the best archeoligical museums in the world. I could have spent weeks in there enjoying milenial cultures. Nobody should miss this place if visiting Athens.

Headout made the ticket process easy. Just scan the QR codes and you can skip the people who didn't get the tickets already. The museum itself was cool, though you get a little bored after the 300th vase in a row. However, my main issue was that the audio guide that was booked with it had absolutely nothing to do with the museum. You can, however, using the same app, go to the Museum tour and enter in words after the word "KEY" like "KEYMUSEUM" or "KEYNATIONAL" and then get the tour that way. Even then, the audio guide's text to speech voice is insanely annoying, so I preferred just reading the bios.

Minimalist and very, very friendly design as not many museums can say about themselves. I was guessing that there were Scandinavians who designed it. But no, there were not them. I am quite aware that marble was the maine material in the antique Athens, but an outside marble pavment on a rainy day is quite a challange for one's phisical balance.
