National Archaeological Museum

We had to return another day as the museum has very different opening hours. Before going, make sure to check that it will be open. I liked it a great deal, however, if you don't bother with an audio guide or a guide, you may not understand everything. All the explanations of the sculptures, and paintings were in Greek or English. I recommended a visit. It's huge - if you go, go with time to spare because it takes a while to visit - there are endless rooms.

Da non perdere

Semplicemente eccezionale. Il museo archeologico di Atene è senza dubbio uno dei musei più belli e toccanti del mondo, uno dei veri punti fermi della città. Anche per chi in genere non ama i musei. Il mio consiglio è di vederlo prima dell'Acropoli e soprattutto prima di Micene (se è fra le tappe che avete in programma). Perché solo così, dopo aver fatto il pieno di emozioni e aver volato con l'immaginazione su questi antichi reperti, potrete davvero immergervi in un luogo del quale restano poche rovine. Fra le sale più emozionanti del museo c'è sicuramente quella dedicata ai tesori ritrovati da Schliemann a Micene (fra cui la 'maschera di Agamennone'), ma fra i pezzi più famosi troverete anche la splendida oinochoe del Dyplon o la sala dedicata a Santorini con le antiche pitture murarie, fra cui quella famosa dei pugili. Personalmente ho trovato particolarmente commovente la sala dedicata ai monumenti funerari risalenti al periodo successivo alla peste di Atene del 430 a.c. Fra le note dolenti c'è che il museo è di concezione un po' vecchia: qualche panchina in più non avrebbe nuociuto. Il museo è non lontano da piazza Omonia (per chi usa la matro), ma ci arriva anche un gran numero di filobus che si possono prendere a piazza Sintagma. Chiuso il lunedì.
Just brilliant. The Archaeological Museum of Athens is undoubtedly one of the most beautiful museums and touching the world, one of the real strong points of the city. Even for those who generally does not like museums. My advice is to see him before the Acropolis of Mycenae and especially before (if it is among the places that you're planning). Because only then, after the full of emotions and have flown with the imagination of these ancient relics, you can really immerse yourself in a location where a few ruins remain. Among the most exciting rooms of the museum is definitely one dedicated to the treasures found by Schliemann at Mycenae (including the 'mask of Agamemnon'), but among the most famous pieces are also the beautiful oinochoe of Dyplon or room dedicated to Santorini with ancient wall paintings, including the famous boxers. Personally I found particularly moving a room devoted to funerary monuments dating back to the period after the plague of Athens in 430 BC Among the mourners is known that the museum is to design a bit 'old: some bench no longer would hurt. The museum is not far from Omonia Square (for those who use Matro), but there also comes a large number of trolley buses that can take you to Syntagma Square. Closed on Mondays.

Os gusta la mitología?, os encantan los ...

Os gusta la mitología?, os encantan los heroes de la antigua Grecia?, pues no os teneis que perder la visita al Museo Arqueológico Nacional de Atenas. Hay que ver sobre todo las dos grandes esculturas de bronce ([poi=44796]Estatua Zeus-Poseidon[/poi] y el Joven Jinete), el oro de la tumba de Agamenón, las esculturas de mármol del período clásico y los frescos de Santorini. Además se pueden contemplar 5 estatuas de bronce descubiertas en 1959 en el puerto del Pireo que son una maravilla; la única Kouros Apollo Arcaica, dos estatuas de Artemis, la Piraeus Athena y una máscara trágica todas ellas fechadas en el siglo 400 a. De Cristo. Podreis visitar treinta y dos salas , comenzando por la parte neolítica y el arte cicládico, y terminando por el arte micénico. Contiene la más rica colección de artefactos de la antigüedad griega en todo el mundo. Se encuentra situado en la zona de Exarhia, en el centro de Atenas, entre las calles Epiro, Bouboulina y Tositsa mientras que su entrada se encuentra en la avenida Patission adyacente al edificio histórico de la Politécnica de Atenas. Se encuentra en la calle Patision, 44 en otro espléndido edificio neo clásico de Atenas. Las colecciones del museo que podréis disfrutar son: Colección prehistórica (Neolítico, Cícladas, Micenas) Colección de esculturas Jarrónes y colección de objetos menores Colección Santorini Colección Metalurgia Colección Stathatos Colección Vlastos Colección de Arte de Egipto donada por Ioannou y Demetrius Alexander Rostovich Colección de Antigüedades del Cercano Oriente. Visitas al Museo Arqueológico de Atenas: El museo es fácilmente accesible con el metro de Atenas. Se tarda 5 minutos a pie desde la estación de Viktoria y 10 minutos a pie de la estación de Omonoia.

Horario de Visitas: Martes a Viernes: 8am-7pm Lunes:12:30pm-7pm Sabado, Domingo y Festivos:8:30am-3pm Espero que os haya servido y disfrutad. Esta preciosidad la podeis admirar en el Museo Arqueológico Nacional de Atenas. Se trata de Atenea Partenos (traducido, Athena la Virgen). Esta maravilla del mundo griego fue hecha por Fidias y representa una escultura Criselefantina de la Diosa griega Atenea. Sin duda una de las Diosas más conocidas y admiradas por todos. Residía en el Partenón (Acrópolis ateniense) y tal fue importancia que se han realizado varias réplicas y obras inspiradas en la original. De hecho os comento en este rincón, donde podéis encontrar dichas réplicas: La Atenea Varvakeion(es el otro nombre que recibe), una copia en mármol de la Atenea Partenos. Está en el Museo Arqueológico Nacional de Atenas (Las fotos de este rincón son de ella precisamente).Además se la considera como la reproducción más fiel a la original. En el Museo Nacional de Roma, en el Museo del Louvre podréis encontrar las otras y actualmente, en el museo Británico podéis encontrar el escudo. Tal fue el impacto que tuvo sobre los demás que se dio origen a partir de ella a otra remensa de estatuas criselefantinas y fue un buen motivo para que Fidias se involucrase y se motivase para ponerse manos a la obra con la estatua de Zeus en Olimpia. Os reproduzco las líneas de un historiador llamado Pausanias dando una bella descripción de la estatua: “ La estatua en sí está hecha de marfil y oro. En el centro de su casco hay una figura parecida a la Esfinge y a cada lado del yelmo hay grifos en relieve. La estatua de Atenea es de pie, con una túnica hasta los pies, y sobre su pecho la cabeza de Medusa está tallada en marfil. Sostiene una Victoria de aproximadamente cuatro codos y en la otra mano una lanza, a sus pies yace un escudo y cerca de la lanza hay una serpiente. Esta serpiente podría ser Erictonio. Sobre el pedestal está el nacimiento de Pandora en relieve ”. Por último deciros que la obra original de Fidias media 12 metros de altura, todo un monumento a la Diosa de la Guerra y la Sabiduría, Atenea.

This beauty you can admire the National Archaeological Museum of Athens. This is Athena Parthenos (translated, Athena the Virgin). This wonder of the Greek world was made by Phidias and represents a sculpture chryselephantine Athena Greek Goddess. Without doubt one of the best known and admired Goddesses by all. Lived in the Parthenon (Acropolis in Athens) and such was important that there have been several replicas and works inspired by the original. In fact I commented on this corner, where you can find these replicas: The Athena Varvakeion (is the other name given), a copy in marble of the Athena Parthenos. It is in the National Archaeological Museum of Athens (Photos of this corner is it precisely). Additionally it is regarded as more faithful to the original. At the National Museum of Rome, the Louvre can find each other and now in the British Museum can find the shield. Such was the impact it had on others that led from it to other statues remensa criselefantinas and was a good reason for that Phidias to get involved and give reasons for to get to work with the statue of Zeus at Olympia. I reproduce the lines of a historian named Pausanias giving a beautiful description of the statue: "The statue itself is made of ivory and gold. In the middle of her helmet is a figure similar to the Sphinx and on each side of the helmet are griffins in relief. The statue of Athena is standing with a tunic to the feet, and on her breast the head of Medusa is carved ivory. Holds a Victory about four cubits, and on the other hand a spear at his feet lies a shield and near the spear is a serpent. This serpent would be Erichthonius. On the pedestal is the birth of Pandora in relief. " Finally say that the original work of Phidias average 12 meters high, a monument to the Goddess of War and Wisdom, Athena.
