When you visit Athens, you must look at Agora where there are many ancient monuments. In the process of excavations, Agora was found mass of artifacts of ancient times - coins, sculptures, amphoras, objects of the utensils of the life of the ancient Greeks and the other. Therefore, a museum was organized on Agore to visit could familiarize themselves with the objects from the life of ancient Greece.

The entrance ticket to the museum is not needed separately, you pay for the entrance to the whole territory of Agora. The museum itself is located in the building of Arthi Attala, or, as it is also called, the portico galleries. I visited the museum in January, but despite this, the Greek sun was bright and hospitable. It turned out wonderful photos with columns of Arthi Attal against the background of the saturated blue sky of winter Athens.
