考古博物馆（Nationa Archadeolo-gical Museum）是雅典二十多所博物馆之中最大、也是收藏最丰富的一个博物馆。这是希腊最大的古文物博物馆，首都雅典重要的参观景点。建于1866年-1889年，收藏希腊各地出土的各个时期价值极高的文物。现在，博物馆有大厅、陈列室等50多个房间，收藏文物近2万件。绝大多数的文物反映了希腊神话中的内容。可谓集古希腊文物之大全。前厅的中路是迈锡尼文物陈列区，其中的金制面具、器皿和装饰品最为著名。中路的两侧为雕塑陈列区，有各种战具。再往北就是青铜器陈列区。战后新建的双层建筑后厅为陶器和陶瓶的陈列区，陶器的造型和瓶上的图案显示出希腊艺术优美精细的特点。

博物馆分为两层展示馆，共有五十间展示室，里面摆满了来自各个时期的文物，通常要花半天的时间才能看完。如果时间不够，建议可挑重点文物欣赏。

入口后，首先看到的是迈锡尼（My-cenae）展示室，里面收藏着“阿加曼农黄金面具”（Mask of Agam-emnon），是专家在锡尼国王阿加曼农死后，依其面貌所制成的黄金面罩，是强盛一时的迈锡尼文明的最好明证；此外还有迈锡尼青铜时期的陶器，以及从伯罗奔尼萨半岛（Peloponnese）出土的史前文物。

第15室的海神波赛顿铜像（Poseidon of atremision），第21室的少年和马（Horse and Jockey Of a-remision），和左侧依年代展示的Kouroi站立人众，都是不可错过的收藏。

有从圣托里尼（Santorini）南部的Akrotiri出土的壁画， 壁画上描绘希腊日常生活的情形，如打拳少年、航海图等。这些壁画在西元前1500年时因火山爆发被埋没于地下，现在在岛上的都是复制的壁画。

其他的展示室陈列了古希腊人日常生活用红色及黑色的瓶和瓮，上面画着几何图案。

 雅典国家考古博物馆收藏不少非常重要的文物。这些文物出自希腊不同的考古地点，年代由史前到晚古时期都有。它被认为是世界上其中一间最伟大的博物馆，并且藏有最丰富的古希腊文物。博物馆坐落于雅典中心的Exarhia区，在Epirus街、Bouboulina街和Tositsas街之间，而其入口设于Patission Avenue，毗邻历史建筑雅典理工学院（National Technical University of Athens）。

 希腊的首间国立考古博物馆，由希腊总理约翰·卡波迪斯特里亚斯（Ioannis Kapodistrias）于1829年在爱琴（Aegina）成立。自那时起，考古收藏品在不同展览场地展出。1858年，为博物馆地点和建筑设计举办了一项国际建筑设计比赛。

雅典国家考古博物馆于1866年在目前的位置开始兴建，并于1889年完成。
