Explore the biggest collections of Greek sculptures and ceramics in the world, with a concise 3-hour tour of the National Archaeological Museum, led by a historian & archaeologist. Delve into the history and culture of the ancient Greeks and marvel at the artifacts that set the standards of beauty and aesthetics for centuries to come. From the dawn of Time, to the Golden Century of Athens and from the epic wars of the Mycenaean Greeks, to the melodrama of the Hellenistic era, wander through centuries of history of the land that would become the cradle of Western Civilization.
The tour of the National Archaeological Museum of Athens, the biggest and oldest museum of Greece will focus on the highlights of its numerous collections. Our first stop will be the Prehistoric Collections, with the mysterious figurines of the Cycladic people and the swords and daggers of the fierce Mycenaean Greeks. The mask of Agamemnon will provide the opportunity to explore the historical truth behind the legends of the Trojan war. The unique sculpture collection of the Museum will serve as the canvas for us to explore the evolution of the ancient Greek Civilization throughout the centuries, from the rise of the first City States to the emergence of Athens as a global power, to the spread of the Hellenistic spirit throughout the known world. We will try to decipher the secrets of the Antikythera mechanism, explore the perceptions of the Greeks about death and the Underworld through their elegant tombstones and try and imagine life in Santorini before the destructive eruption of the Thira volcano.
