National Historical Museum

The National Historical Museum is located in the beautiful neoclassical building that used to house the Parliament, at Kolokotroni Square, right in the center of Athens (Syntagma area).  The collections of the Museum are excellent, including pieces referencing many aspects of Greek history from the Early Modern period.  There are many costumes, flags, weapons, war posters, and pieces of furniture on display, as well as of course the room where the Greek Parliament met until moving to their present building in Syntagma Square.  Although it took me six trips to Greece to make it to this museum, it was a highlight of my trip, and I wish I had been earlier.  I will certainly be back, and I recommend it highly to anyone who is interested in the modern (post-Ottoman) history of Greece.
