The National Archaeological Museum of Athens
Take a detailed tour of the greatest museum of Greek Art in the world:
Thera:
The Minoan eruption of Thera was a civilization destroying volcanic eruption dated to 1540 B.C. It destroyed Thera (now Santorini), including the Minoan settlement at Akrotiri covering it in pumice. It also affected the Minoan population on Crete, causing the Mycenaean conquest of the Minoans.
This fresco is the first example of landscape painting as well as being amongst the very first frescos ever painted, dated from well before 1500 B.C., along with the gazelles, boxers, and the frescos still on display in Fira on Santorini.
Mycenae:
In 1874, an amateur archeologist, Heinrich Schliemann, who believed in the historical truth of Homer, excavated Mycenae, and upon discovering a human skull beneath a death mask in a tomb, declared: I have gazed upon the face of Agamemnon, which is doubtful.
Pots:
The Geometric Period flourished at the end of the Greek Dark Ages, from 1000 BC – 700 BC., was characterized by geometric patterns in vase painting and figures comprised of triangular shapes.
The Archaic period began in the middle of the eighth century B.C., between the time of the first Olympic Games and Homer. The term “archaic” (meaning old or early) was invented in the 18th century by art historians to characterize the period between the Geometric and Classical Periods.
The Classical Period began at the end of The Persian Wars in 479 B.C. Why do we have so many Greek Pots? They were very durable, and often buried with their owners. The Hellenistic period fell between the death of Alexander the Great in 323 B.C. and the emergence of the Roman Empire, thus ending the era of Greek Pottery.
Glass:
Hellenistic glass was produced beginning with the conquests of Alexander the Great, in 336 B.C. It is believed that most of this glass was produced outside of Greece, in The Syro-Judean parts of Alexander’s Empire.
Gold:
The golden wreaths and jewelry seen here is from The Hellenistic Period, between 300 and 100 B.C.
Figurines:
Due to their low cost, terracotta figurines were used for religious purposes by the middle class, starting in The Archaic and culminating in The Hellenistic Period.
Statues:
Since little to no Geometric Period sculpture survives, we begin with The Archaic. The kouros, or male youth is seen, at first unmoving. As sculpture evolves, we see more movement in the statues, which is the very goal of sculpture.
The female youth, or kore, always clothed, is much rarer than the kouros. You can see excellent examples of them in The Acropolis Museum, which sadly, does not allow them to be photographed.
We begin The Classical Period in 460 B.C. with this bronze of Zeus, or is it Poseidon? The Sounion Kouros, discovered in 1906, probably stood in front of the sanctuary of The Temple of Poseidon on The Cape of Sounion. This extraordinary bronze contains the original eyes. Eyes were made of marble and glass, sandwiched between pliable metal plates so that they could be firmly inserted into eye sockets within the bronze.
The Hellenistic Period begins with this marble statue of Themis from 300 BC. The Roman Period begins in The First Century B.C. and lasts through The Fourth Century A.D.

ATHENS: Episode 7 - National Archaeological Museum
The National Archaeological Museum in Athens houses some of the most important artifacts from a variety of archaeological locations around Greece from prehistory to late antiquity. It is considered one of the greatest museums in the world and contains the richest collection of artifacts from Greek antiquity worldwide.
This video will just give you a glimpse of the collections/displays inside. I will not attempt to contain in a 7-min video all the wealth of knowledge you can gain from a visit to this place. That would not be doing it any justice.
Instead, I suggest you check their website and read the description for each collection or exhibit if you are really interested. Rest assured, you will learn a lot.
And if you are planning to visit this museum anytime soon, there's an option to print out the descriptions. This will help you understand and appreciate the exhibit much better.
Here's the link:
