This Museum, inaugurated in 1973 by benefactors Lambros Eutaxias and his uncle Alexandros Vouros, is housed in the stately mansion that was the residence of Otto, the first King of Athens and his wife Amalia, from 1837 up to 1843, and its first floor is dedicated to their memory. It seeks to present the modern history of the city of Athens, since it became capital of the nascent Hellenic State in 1834, up to the present day. Among its collections are works of art, items of furniture and household objects, as well as complete reconstructions of typical late 19th – early 20th century living and sitting rooms of the Athenian aristocratic elite.
