As it stood in 2004
What National Archaeological Museum of Athens looked like in its prime.
A long, low neo‑classical stone building with a central six‑column portico reached by wide marble steps; recessed red wall panels fill the colonnade bays, with a terracotta‑tiled roof and a row of sculpted stone figures on the roofline. A Greek flag flies from a mast above the central entablature. In front lies a paved square and a planted sculpture garden; the façades are pale ashlar and smooth stucco with regular classical cornices and pilasters.
