International Museum Day
On Thursday 18 May 2023, the Museum will celebrate International Museum Day with free admission for visitors from 9am to 8pm.

In this context, the Acropolis Museum invites its younger friends to the CHILDREN’S CORNER, a specially designed space on the second floor. There they will find touch screens with fun digital games and enjoyable videos, which bring ancient myths to life, tell fascinating stories and unfold aspects of the daily life of the ancient Athenians.
