It houses the world's finest collection of Greek antiquities, spanning prehistoric to Byzantine times. The National Archaeological Museum primary strengths are sculpture and pottery.
Two of the National Archaeological Museum's treasures are wrapped in naming controversy:
They include a marble artwork showing the Aphrodite threatening a satyr - and a copper figure of a boy jockey riding a bareback horse.
These artworks of Greece include the prehistoric Cycladic figurines, the Thera frescoes, and the red- and black-figured vases.
The National Archaeological Museum attracts throngs of people in the summer. Try to visit it during one of the three daytime periods when you are least likely to encounter the tour-bus crowds in Athens, Greece. They are early morning, lunchtime, and late afternoon.
