Which neoclassical museum in Athens houses the Antikythera Mechanism?

The neoclassical museum in Athens that houses the Antikythera Mechanism is the National Archaeological Museum, Athens.

Greece’s largest archaeological museum occupies a neoclassical building constructed between 1866 and 1889. Its collections span Greek history from prehistory through late antiquity, including sculpture, pottery, metalwork, jewelry, and finds from major archaeological discoveries.

The Antikythera Mechanism was recovered from a shipwreck near the island of Antikythera in 1901. Made with precisely engineered bronze gears, it could model astronomical cycles and is often described as the world’s oldest known analogue computer. The museum displays the surviving fragments along with explanatory material and reconstructions.

The Acropolis Museum is a frequent source of confusion because it is Athens’s best-known archaeological museum to many visitors, but it focuses primarily on finds from the Acropolis. The Antikythera Mechanism belongs to the National Archaeological Museum’s important collection of ancient Greek technological and maritime discoveries.
