National Archeological Museum of Greece

This is truly the treasure chest of Western Civilization. Greece is the cradle of Democracy and art and all it's treasures are packed (and carefully watched) in this huge museum. Hundreds of displays and rooms full of pottery, statues, art, , bronze, jewelry and yes- even Egyptian mummies.

Imagine all this was created before Jesus Christ was born. Truly Amazing. These Greeks were certainly talented... and thanks for giving us Democracy. Everyone remember to vote on Nov 4!
