The National Archaeological Museum of Athens is the largest archaeological museum in Greece and one of the most important museums in the world devoted to ancient Greek art. It was founded at the end of the 19th century to house and protect antiquities from all over Greece, thus displaying their historical, cultural and artistic value.
The construction of the museum's building began in 1866 and was completed in 1889, with the initial plan conceived by the architect Ludwig Lange. It was later modified by Panages Kalkos who was the main architect, Harmodios Vlachos and Ernst Ziller.
