I had a chance to stop in the War Museum in Athens, and really enjoyed the visit. There are a lot more firearms on display than I expected, covering the whole gamut from muzzleloaders to fairly modern arms. The Balkan Wars, World War One, and World War Two all get a lot of attention, as does ancient Greek history (of course). There are a couple other collections housed in the building, including a very good collection donated by a Greek officer around 1900. If you are visiting Athens, it is most definitely worth a visit, and you should plan to spend more time there than you would normally expect.

You can also find a complete 3D virtual tour of the museum (and all the other museums run by the Greek military) at their web site:

YESSSSSS! I’ve been hoping you’d find your way to this museum for the better part of 10 years since I was stationed in Athens. That weird carcano has perplexed me for years. Is the big loop in the back supposed to be for the shooter to fit their whole arm though?! If so, how do they manipulate the bolt? Regardless, it’s a pretty cool museum with a bunch of unique stuff.

Great museum, I dropped by with my 5 year old son when we were in Athens, and the museum staff were a real delight to speak with. There was some international conference in the basement level we stumbled into for a few minutes, which was very odd.

Hilarious that their first three big displays are of foreigners—Macedonian, (Eastern) Roman, and Turk.

The one you described as a 25mm bushmaster looks really similar to a naval mount rheinmetal 20 mm (rh-202) have on Museumship Narvik. Meh, probably wrong. Didnt get a good look.

The ultimate "guys" museum. Love how they have uncased guns on display, says a lot about Greece and its people. The US would never be able to leave weapons out for greasy little fingers to touch.

It could be - those larger pieces are definitely not my specialty.

I only had time to walk around the outside in early 2018.

Is that the place that 17October (former Greek Terrorist Cell) stole their weapons from? Looking forward to watching this one.
