Thursday is free admission. I spent about 2 hours there and could have stayed longer but I had to meet someone. A great place to go, especially on Thursday :-)

We went on a Thursday, which turned out to have free entry (!), and the museum is open until midnight, so we definitely felt this was very worth going. The museum itself is very cool, although a bit odd - most of the ground floor is all ancient Greek stuff (which was all great stuff, although probably more impressive if you haven't just come from the national Archaeological Museum!), but it then very rapidly transitions into Christian artwork, and then onto much more recent Greek history, including the war for independence on the top floor. We went in not knowing about any of the more recent history, so I don't think we got as much out of the more recent exhibits as we should have done.

Great museum, with a broad collection of items throughout the history of Greece! Very nice to visit for free on a Thursday evening. Good restaurant as well

Well laid out, authoritative, professional in every way. My focus was Byzantium, but the earlier antiquities are actually the museum's principal strength. Definitely worth visiting. Lovely gift shop and cafe as well.

We had a great experience there. The exhibition is huge and has a lot of interesting objects of art and history. Probably the first museum where prehistoric artifacts took my breath away. The artwork is truly amazing. Also there's a cozy canteen with nice service and a good view
