Given the fact that me along my family have visited many museums around the world, while being Greek we thought it would be a good idea to visit this particular museum as well. Note it was around 35+ degrees outside. The really friendly staff at the entrance explained to us that the already purchased ArteCard that we had includes a free entrance to the museum. After that we proceeded to enter the main hall. At first it was unclear where to start, but by checking the map we figured out that we should take the rooms by the arithmetic order of the exhibits. Soon, we started feeling the heat and humidity kicking in, since there wasn’t any kind of cooling system in the building or at least some fans. This alone while everyone was sweating around us, including us was a really unpleasant way to the experience itself. Passing the rooms one by one we didn’t find anything in particular too interesting except from the main hall of the first floor that was really impressive. We went to the mosaics , where unfortunately the main attraction of Alexander the Great, was under restoration, but this of course happens. After that we moved on to the Magna Grecia hall. Soon we were informed that we couldn’t enter it, because there was an extra fee for this particular room, which wasn’t something that the staff at the entrance had mentioned. So imagine the frustration… either way, all the above comments refer to things that we can easily compare with museums even in Greece. First the maintenance of this beautiful building was poor, secondly it’s unacceptable in this typical Mediterranean climate to avoid using an A/C system etc. , both these facts made us wonder of how this exhibitions themselves are being preserved under these conditions …, and last but not least it’s unbelievable the price their charging while in Greece we don’t even charge half of it, but that of course it’s a different story …
