Lately, at this museum, I've been enjoying photography exhibitions. Today, I saw the Spirits Unseen photography exhibition by Myrto Papadopoulos that was well installed in a modern, simple setting. 😊👍 The museum is huge and handicapped accessible. It has a nice café/restaurant ... where I and friends enjoyed good cups of coffee after seeing the photo exhibit! 😍😋 The museum shop is also really nice ... offering a wide range of quality gift items, many in the higher price range ... but beautiful & tastefully displayed. 😍 I'm already looking forward to my next visit!

A unique museum in the zone of Kerameikos of Athens, dedicated to the modern and contemporary art, culture and history. Located in a new industrialised building, it usually houses temporary exhibitions of high splendour, paintings, photographs, experimental actions. There is WiFi, WC and it is accessible via public transportation. There is also a cute coffee shop and the museum’s shop. Prices differ depending on the exhibition.

The space itself is impressive. Upon our visit the entire space was dedicated to photography - at least for now. Quite interesting with some very interesting photos. The museum contains a very nice cafe (bar included) as well as a gift shop.

This beautiful contemporary architecture museum, housed in a former car dealership and repair shop that got a radical renovation, has amazing spaces for exhibitions. What is more important, it has ramps for access by people with disabilities. I really enjoyed the inside atrium, and there’s an exceptional cafe for you to rest before or after your visit. The exhibition I attended about the history of a major Greek biscuit brand was exceptional! Easily accessible by metro, station Keramikos (blue line) and electric railway, station Petralona (green line).

One of the best museum in Greece. You can get some idea about Modern Greek society by visiting here. Especially, now they are exhibiting "the life before and after 1821" to celebrate 200 years greek independence war.

One of the main cultural places in Athens. Host very important exhibitions. Now we did visit an exhibition that just started about Greek famous photographer Nelly. Really interesting.

The experience was amazing. I do recommend visiting the cafe restaurant on the ground floor. Decoration amazing. The dishes delicious. The presentation lovey. Prices are reasonable. The personal polite and professional.

Very nice place to hold meetings

One of the most iconic female photographers of the 20th century, Nelly's was a real pioneer. She wrote history when she photographed Russian classical dancer Jelizaveta Nikolská naked on the Acropolis hill. The Benaki Museum owns the greatest collection of Nelly's photographs in the world and this exhibition is a must if you love photography. ❤️ 📸

Interesting exhibitions but expensive tickets!

Nice museum, there was a nice exhibition when we were there

Great exhibition center, and also great the "1821 before and after" excibition for the 200 years anniversary of the Greek revolution.

Organized comfortable and very tidy. Friendly staff and in a very central location

Wonderful, comprehensive exhibition on the Greek experience in Asia Minor and it's aftermath. Very moving and interesting. All of the staff were incredibly helpful and charming.

Best museum in the city.

We went here to see a photography exhibition and we were also treated to a lifetime retrospective of George Hadjimichalis. It's a beautiful space and the exhibitions were very well installed. The museum is huge and handicapped accessible. We spent the entire day and enjoyed lunch at the cafe. Extensive gift shop, helpful staff, spotless restrooms. Highly recommend.

Very nice museum though

I visited Nelly’s exhibition and it was a fantastic experience

Quiet,polite, hospitable people and interesting exhibitions to see and remember

Nice exhibition on Smyrna. The day I went there were no tour guides for the whole week but still, I enjoyed the exhibition a lot. Rich exhibits and accurate portrayal. A bit depressing thinking of the history but worth seeing.

A jewel of museum. I visited the exhibition for Asia Minor 1922 disaster and it was very well organized and presented. Must see, but most important to know the history behind the events.

This is a museum off the beaten track. The exhibitions are focused on a particular subject each time . The moment this is being written it is about "Greeks in Asia Minor" and in particular the tragic events at Smyrna and the exchange of population. Very well done. It is though quite large and if you read everything you will need a lot of time.

The museum was closed as per the sign on the building, however their website does not indicate the same. What a pity, not very professional and very disappointing. Information is not up to date - made the effort to visit and left extremely disappointed.

It was a real treat experiansing George Hadjimichalis art , 12 eu cost.

One of the best museums in Athens. The building in Pireos Street houses temporary exhibitions

Very nice spot with carefully selected exhibitions and a lively bistro and shop at level 0.

The website says they should be open on an early Saturday afternoon in July. we got there and a man at reception said they are closed and we should leave so I rate this museum very poorly. Definitely call before you go because the website is unreliable.

Expo 1821. Very interesting

Went primarily to see the interesting building, designed by architects Maria Kokkinou and Andreas Kourkoulas. They don't have a permanent collection and hold temporary exhibitions, so check them out.

Excellent exhibition. Very nice place to have a coffee/snack/lunch. Very stylish Museum Shop. It is worth paying a visit. I love this place!

Compared to other museums the ticket price was very high considering that you can see only part of the museum's exhibits...unforgiving. The knowledge of the staff working there is non existent and in some displays the legends were not reflecting the actual paintings. Very poor performance compared to other museums. Still the coffee and gift shop areas are the best to enjoy...

Excellent museum with many interesting and exhibitions, its restaurant is an ideal place to relax

What an amazing exhibition for the 200 years since the hellenic revolution: 1821 before and after. Truly emotional seeing so many artifacts from our history. Well done!

A very interesting view of ancient Tinos from Homer to Mycenae

Αmazing Place Amazing Work Amazing People ....visit the gift shop at the end .

Part of the network of benaki museums around Athens, which are some of the best private museums in Europe. The benaki of Piraeus has amazing architecture, hosts very interesting shows and has a great museum shop. This museum is unique also for its annual book bazaar and other cultural events, such as, concerts and the exhibitions cover a wide range of subjects.

A beautiful museum, easy to navigate, impressive works and there's a restaurant inside with delicious food and drinks.

One of TOP Museums in Athens! PERFECT the Exhibition “1821 Before and After” Congratulations!

A private museum for all kind of exhibitions, great place and good shop inside. You must go!

Always a pleasure to watch exhibitions here. This time the one on the Greek Revolution of 1821 was brilliant.

An amazing experience. The museum is architecturally great and easy to access. Always with interesting art pieces and exhibitions to see.

Nice tour for 1821, a bit pricey

I shall explain if the management doesn't contact me within a week. It's about the guards manners and conduct. No contact from them after all this time. They obviously don't care about their services' evaluation. If someone wants to know comment here and I shall pm.

A place for art and feelings! The architecture of the building is beautiful and the different exhibitions talking place are for every type of preference! The museum is pretty big and can get you tired but the thoughts and feelings that outshine through art worth the tiredness!

Excellent museum. Great exhibition on Asia Minor, the greek orthodox minority and the Asia Minor catastrophy.
