Some of the museum's oldest artifacts are exhibited in this collection dating all the way back to the 6th mil. BC.
Plain and mysterious, these figurines (3rd mil. BC.) originated from the Cycladic islands and influenced modern art some 5,000 years later...
With opulent artifacts such as the 'Mask of Agamemnon', this collection dates from the 2nd mil. BC., the time of the not-so-mythical Trojan War.
From Greece's most popular island, which is an active volcano and caused one of the largest volcanic eruptions humanity has witnessed in the 17th cent. BC. This event probably gave rise to the story of the Lost Atlantis...
The world's earliest analogue computer, dating from the 2nd cent. BC, was used to predict astronomical positions and inspired the latest Indiana Jones movie.
