If you are interested in history, it's a must! Go to Acropolis and the other Museums, but in Hellenic Cosmos you will find something uniqe (in the world). Here you will understand how all those ruins where! The virtual reality show in the dome (tholos as they call it) was unbelievable! (ask for the newest VR show about Priene). More

The Mathematics exhibition is a must! It is not about mathematics as a science, but rather it tells you the history of mathematics. Even those who did not like math in our group, loved it! The VR (virtual reality) show in "Tholos" (the large VR theater) was unique! We saw the "new" program about ancient Miletus and the graphics quality... More

Hellenic Cosmos is an ultra modern cultural centre and museum open to people of all ages and interests like virtual reality tours and interactive exhibitions, using state of the art technology. We had a virtual reality tour for 45 minutes at the city of Miletus, as it was 2000 years ago. This 3D production is much better than the "Athena... More

We loved this museum. It was definitely hard to find, and the hours it was open/had shows were iffy, but the staff was very helpful and accommodating. We were lost for a while coming off the metro- it is on the main street, across from the car dealerships, look for a dome and an area that looks like performing arts-... More

This was a sort of letdown. This is not a museum that will be more interesting to kids - it will ONLY interest children and that is if they are not too picky. Staff is usually great and helpful, but nothing really help you immerse in the hellenic past. Interactive displays are basic at best and the 3D tour is... More

Hellenic Cosmos was so empty I thought it was closed. The shows I had come to see were “full” supposedly with schoolchildren but I never saw them. There was one show available at 5pm (it was 2:30) so I bought the ticket that covered everything and spent the afternoon. It was a disappointment. There were two exhibits. The first was... More
