Hellenic Children’s Museum

The philosophy of the Hellenic Children’s Museum is based on the phrase “I hear and I forget, I see and I remember, I do and I understand”. In the Children’s Museum, children can broaden their knowledge and experiences in many different areas.

The exhibit Hello Pythagoras helps children understand the concept of geometry. In the Playground, they play with building materials to create different constructions. At the Marketplace, they are taught about the concept of supply and demand, and in the Kitchen area, they experiment with food ingredients and recipes and have the opportunity to try their hand at cooking.

While the programmes are in Greek, they can also be conducted in English upon special request. The museum organises recreational activities depending on children’s ages as well as seasonal educational programmes.

It is worth visiting the toy store with its innovative games that stir children’s imagination and the materials store that has cheap recycled materials with which children can build creative constructions and get acquainted with the concept of recycling.

In addition, the museum offers seminars for grown ups and has published the book ‘Children and Education at the Museum’.
