About this event
On Ochi Day the greatest collection of Greek antiquities in the world opens its doors without a ticket. The Antikythera Mechanism, the Mask of Agamemnon, the bronze Artemision god and the Mycenaean gold are all yours for the price of turning up. The museum states free entry for every visitor on this date, not just for selected groups.
Why we picked it
