To celebrate its 32 years a new reshuffling led to a larger museum shop which includes a grocery store, a perfume shop, a bookshop and as always gifts in new and older creations, an exhibition with the emphasis on “The Greek town: Nafplion 1822-1922” and an introductory show-case presenting heteroclite museum items in a daring free installation in order to emphasize the flexibility of its collecting philosophy. This museological proposal was sporadically presented in the Nafplion Museum from 1999 up to January 2006 and in “The Ptychoseis” exhibition of the 2004 Cultural Olympiad at the new Benaki Museum.

The Museum of Automotive is the result of many years collector passion and a dream held through a collective effort.New Tirintha

If you are fun of children toys then you really have to visit the Museum of Childhood “Stathmos”, located in the warehouse of the old railway station.
