War Museum

Athens, Greece - January 9, 2018: Fighter plane in front of Athens War Museum.

This relic of the junta years is a stark architectural statement of the times. But its displays of weapons, maps, armor and models from the Mycenaean civilization to the present day make an interesting break from the classics and there are some impressive pieces of kit parked around it, including fighter jets and an exact copy of the 1912 Daedalus, Greece's first military aircraft.
