Athens City Museum

The Museum of the City of Athens is housed in two of the capital's most historic buildings. His collections include paintings, engravings, sculptures, furniture and important pieces of modern Greek history. Works such as the painting of Jaques Carrey (1684), the largest ever made for Athens, and the Carnival in Athens by painter Nikolaos Gyzi are just some of the important exhibits in the Museum's collections.
The building at 7 Paparrigopoulou Street, was occupied from 1836 to 1843 by Otto and Amalia, the first kings of Greece. For this reason, the 1st floor of the building has been preserved and specially designed to represent the first palace.
The building on 5 Paparrigopoulou Street, connected by a closed bridge to the former, was built by architect Gerasimos Metaxas in 1859. It is a unique example of a 19th-century urban mansion in Athens, with rooms and furniture that retain its immaculate character.
