Best History museum in Greece

D	Dmitri Koslov on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Nothing super special but a nice place, however if you have time I would recommend a stop by this museum. I wouldn't recommend if you have limited time because I would recommend doing all the archeological sites first such as Acropolis, Hadrian's Library, etc. Keep in mind everything is pretty much within walking distance so you can get alot done if you plan ahead where you are going.
P	Petropoulos Gregory on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ The history of modern Greece in one place, the staff is the definition of philoxenia
P	Panayotis V. on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ It's a must, to visit thia museum, hosted inside the old parliaments building.
I	Ioannis Paisis on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Impressive neoclassical building used as Parliament a few decades ago. Nowadays it houses a museum about the independence of Greece. You need about one hour to explore it. On Sunday the entrance is free. The first Sunday of every month there is tour guide free of charge on 12.00. It deserves a visit.
H	Hans Donck on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Lots of information about the Greek independence struggle / war / guerilla. Also attention for the role of named and nameless women in the war.
J	Jan Torfs on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Today the former Parliament acts as an interesting museum and surely worth while a visit, especially for all Greek nationals and students, as a memory of their rich history. One can see the nice Greek architecture and the big round shaped central hall where the Greek Parliament organised all of their meetings.
E	Eleni “Dorela” Tourlotou /De Sousa Brito on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Excellent, especially the 1st floor. Very interesting display pieces. There is alot of information. Most, the classic display cards but digital interaction too.
M	Margarita Lp on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Very interesting and nice museum! Starting from the Greek revolution, you move in circular path around the main parliament room, through the Greek history up until the end of the WW2. There is a collection of the personal belongings of various protagonists of those historical events and of the 19th c. dresses from various Greek places, as well. The historic parliament room is well preserved and one can gaze it from the balconies on the 1st floor as well. The 1st floor there are panels with the historic events that one can reads in both Greek and English.
