You sell the tickets when the museum was closed, and don’t answer how to change the date

We found all the exhibits stunning. I was particularly interested in the jewellery and was amazed by the variety of exhibits and detail and skills of the early craftsmen BC. One of the best museums I (Read More)have been to, and I have been to many museums in Europe and Central Asia. Only downside was the English descriptions were hard to read in the low lighting. We would have preferred bold text.

The ticket was not impressed -neither available on line, even WITHOUT IT .. the AMAZING MUSEUM’s ADMINISTRATORS and SECURITY STAFF trusted my words and the voucher. The museum is one OUTSTANDING- into (Read More) the word’s full scope - such a wonderful ( positive ) surprise - VERY GREEK at its best - a place that DESERVES every tourist’s & every Greek citizen’s visit. The collection encompasses Greek History ( focusing on social trends ) - since pre-historic Eras ( Cycladic /Mycenaean/ Minoan ) passing thru the Classics until the present day heritage, lightened by VERY relevant and refined masterworks. The museum shop displays a multitude of interesting souvenirs. Highly recommended place for those who really wanted to perceive “ Greek” social history as a whole.
