The War Museum is in the center of Athens, about 500 meters from Syntagma Square. The museum was inaugurated in 1975 and it operates in a building designed by distinguished Greeks, with professor Thoukidides Valentis as head. The building is distinguished by its special architecture and its most striking feature is that the first floor is larger in size than the ground floor.

Inside the War Museum visitors can admire, among others, collections of weapons, relics and objects from military operations of the Greek armed forces. Also maps, prints, books and documents narrate the story of war in Greece.

Entering the museum's courtyard you will find yourself in a small military aircraft exhibition, amidst cannons from different historical periods. The War Museum has a rich library, photo gallery and conference center, where events are organized, with themes relating to war and beyond.

The War Museum has branches in Thessaloniki, Tripoli, Nafplio and Chania.
