Europe, Athens

In a unique historic Art Nouveau building at the very heart of Athens in Kolonaki district you may visit two special museums. The building which once belonged to the family of Queen Aspasia Manou, wife of Alexander I now hosts the Museum of Ancient Greek Technology and the Museum of Ancient Greek Musical Instruments and Games.

In a total area of 700 square meters, guests will have the opportunity to get to know a relatively unknown aspect of Ancient Greek culture through the permanent exhibition “Ancient Greece – The Origins of Technologies” which includes approximately 100 selected exhibits, from the robot-servant and the "cinema" of Philon to the automatic theater of Heron, and from the Hydraulic Clock of Ktesibios to the Antikythera Mechanism.

At the same time, the same building houses the Museum of Ancient Greek Musical Instruments and Games with 42 fully functional, reassembled musical instruments, such as the helicon and the sixth string of Pythagoras, the lyre of Hermes, the guitar of Apollo, the Homeric phorminx, the harp of Sappho, the Ptolemaic helicon, the Pan flute, the hydraulis of Ktesibios and others.
