Hellenic Children's Museum

The Hellenic Children's Museum occupies the Athens Conservatoire building and features multiple floors with learning exhibitions and interactive installations for young visitors. The spaces are designed so children can explore and experiment on their own.

The museum was founded in 1987 as Greece's first institution devoted to children's learning through hands-on and experimental methods. Its creation marked the beginning of a new approach to understanding how young people develop.

The museum shares Greek traditions through programs where children take part in activities connecting local customs with modern life. Visitors see how heritage and contemporary society come together in everyday experiences.

Parents can enroll their children aged 3 months to 12 years in workshops held daily in morning and afternoon sessions. It is wise to plan ahead, as the spaces can become crowded at peak times.

Several exhibition areas contain soft objects and sound collections specifically designed for infants to make their first tactile and acoustic experiences. These sensory installations were created to spark the natural curiosity of the youngest visitors.
