Μουσείο της Πόλεως των Αθηνών – Ίδρυμα Βούρου-Ευταξία

This guide to the Museum of the City of Athens in Athens tells how the newly crowned King Otto, a Bavarian teenager handed a half-ruined capital in 1832, had nowhere to live when he married Queen Amalia, and simply moved into a banker's private house. You'll hear about the building's plain neoclassical design and its seven years as the seat of the Greek crown, plus what became of Amalia's own garden nearby. It closes with a look at the first-floor rooms still arranged as the royal household knew them.
