Benaki Museum
Description
Eight thousand years of Greek history come alive in the Benaki Museum (Μουσείο Μπενάκη). Enjoy prehistoric works of art, rare manuscripts, Byzantine icons, historic weapons, and paintings. The greatest attraction is the reconstructions of 18th- and 19th-century living. The museum also features a Childhood and Toy Department (with 15,000 historic games and children's items from around the world). Since its re-opening in 2000, the collections for Islamic Art and Chinese porcelain moved to satellite museums. A museum shop and a roof garden with a restaurant are available to visitors.
