Nestled in the charming Plaka neighborhood, one of Athens’ newest museums is set within a captivating complex that tells a story through its architectural layers. The site features an eclectic “mosaic” of building remnants, from the late Roman wall and an early Christian basilica to portions of a 17th-century villa, a chapel and exquisite 19th and 20th-century houses, all encircling a tranquil courtyard.
The museum invites visitors to step into the daily life of a not-so-distant yet distinctly different past. Through a combination of unique artifacts, interactive digital displays, multimedia, and vivid imagery, the exhibits offer a rich exploration of both urban life in 19th and 20th-century cities and the more traditional rhythms of rural Greek life.
