Επισκέφθηκα την έκθεση "Στο όνομα της ανθρωπιάς" στη πτέρυγα Μακρυγιάννη. Για να μπείτε μέσα στο κτιριακό συγκρότημα από τη κεντρική είσοδο θα σας ανοίξει τη πόρτα αυτόματος ο φύλακας από το απέναντι κτίριο που θα σας δει. Ο χώρος στο προαύλιο είναι πολύ όμορφος τόσο σε φυσική ομορφιά όσο και τα κτίρια. Ο η πτέρυγα Μακρυγιάννη είναι πολύ κατάλληλη για την φιλοξενία εκθέσεων και η υπάρχουσα ήταν πολύ καλά οργανωμένη. Ο χώρος βρίσκεται πολύ κοντά στο σταθμό Μέγαρο Μουσικής και περπατάτε λίγο αλλά σε ένα σημείο με μικρή αναφορική κλίση. Η γύρω περιοχή είναι πολύ όμορφη αλλά δεν νομίζω ότι θα βρείτε εύκολα στάθμευση το αυτοκίνητό σας. Ακριβώς πίσω από τη βιβλιοθήκη υπάρχει μικρό πάρκο πευκόφυτο και άλλο περιφραγμένο αλσύλλιο.

Beautiful building but it is a pity it is only open to students; we went in the morning and were told it will open at 2:00 pm and at that time they will let us in; when we went at 2:00 pm they told us it was only open to students.
