Hellenic
Children’s Museum
One of the early museum experiences for children between 4 and
12 years old, where they are provided with an environment adjusted
to their needs and abilities, is the Hellenic Children’s
Museum. The main philosophy of the museum is the conviction that
real objects, direct experiences and entertainment support learning.
The Hellenic Children’s Museum exists to encourage children
to discover, understand, learn, enjoy and shape the world in which
they live with a respect for individuality and an emphasis on
team work.
The
Hellenic Children’s Museum has educational activities on
two floors for children from 4 to 12 years old but also a seminar
program “Education in museums” as well as parents’
sensitization courses and other adult seminars. The museum employs
12 full-time staff members and 9 part-time staff, supported by
approximately 150 volunteers who are employed in all areas of
the museum as well as experts in Greece and abroad.
The
Museum is housed in an early 20th century neoclassical building
in the heart of Plaka. The museum was founded in 1987 on the initiative
of Sophia Roque-Mela with the collaboration of a group of young
experts.
