A visit to the Historical Museum of Athens

This is my visit to the magnificent Historical Museum in Athens with a complete tour of pretty much all items and the temporary exhibition of the Smyrna Catastrophe, all permanent exhibitions and the beautiful first greek parliament. The National Historical Museum of Athens basically hosts a ton of items and artefacts about the 1821 Greek War of Independence and the early days of Greece as an independent country after the Ottoman Empire occupation of more than 400 years. The building that hosts the Museum used to be Greece’s First Parliament, which stopped being in use back in the 1930’s. The National Historical Museum of Athens opened its doors in 1962 with thousands of items from modern Greece and the Greek Revolution.
