The place has many floors where each one contains Exhibits to a specific era. It is a good place to to have a primary knowledge about Muslims' culture.

Hidden gem in Athens for sure. Some beautiful pieces and dont miss the basement for a surprise. Also the terrace has a stunning view.
I enjoyed everything from the horses armor to the ornate knives. Glassware, ceramics, and fabrics from the 7th century to the 1800s. Fascinating styles and designs, different than other cultures. Each room shows a different period and has a maps displaying the area ruled by each of the empires.
One of the most special museums in Athens and my personal favorite. Their collection is amazing and spans centuries of Islamic history and culture. Housed in a renovated neoclassical building with a Cafe on the terrace. Which has a really great view. So worth visiting!
Not related to the islamic rule in Greece. Majority of items on display were from other countries. Not a great deal on display, did it in 15 mins. Was disappointed as we were expecting some Ottoman history in Greece ie The mosque built on Acropolis or the many abandoned mosques around Athens or the Madrassa build near the tower of winds etc. Plus point , Really good AC inside kept us nice and cool as ouside was 35C!.
Very nice collection. I love the way the different phases and epochs in history are displayed on different floors (elevator available) and have a map of the world during that time with a short summary of this period.
Lovely small museum with just one room in each floor (so easy to navigate) focused on a different era. There is good commentary on the qr codes by some of the pieces (with WiFi hotspots, althoughi didn't spot were to get the password). The cafe on the roof terrace is great, rather expensive but nice called and drinks, and great views of the acropolis and kerameikos cemetery.
Worth visiting but do not expect anything huge you may spend an hour or more , do not forget to drink a coffee at the terrace with the fabulous view of Acropolis and Pnika
