Great staff who are more than happy to talk to you about the place history. A LOT of toys, not only for kids but gives nostalgic feeling for adults too. Definitely recommend!

This is more of a huge (truly huge) private collection rather than a museum. There’s basically no information what so ever about the different objects. Also - a lot of the objects are really dusty and are clearly not being preserved. That said it’s a huge and wonderful collection of toys! Every thing from the 40s up until now. Mostly focusing on Barbie, Electric trains and Lego. Well worth the time and money.

Such a great place, fantastic for all ages! From old toys to the latest Lego, room after room, neverending selection of toys! Highly recommended!

Argos Theater

The ancient Argos Theater was built in 320 BC. and is located in Argos, Greece against Larissa Hill. Nearby from this site is Agora, Roman Odeon, and the Baths of Argos. The theater is one of the largest architectural developments in Greece and was renovated in ca 120 AD.

The Hellenistic theater at Argos is cut into the hillside of the Larisa, with 90 steps up a steep incline, forming a narrow rectilinear cavea. Among the largest theaters in Greece, it held about 20,000 spectators and is divided by two landings into three horizontal sections. Staircases further divide the cavea into four cunei, corresponding to the tribes of Argos A high wall was erected to prevent unauthorized access into the theatron and may have helped the acoustics, but it is said the sound quality is still very good today.

Around 120 CE, both theaters were renovated in the Roman style.
