Hellenic Motor Museum

About

The Hellenic Motor Museum, located in the heart of Athens on the third floor of the Athenian Capitol shopping mall, is a dynamic tribute to the evolution of automotive design from the late 19th century to the present day. With a total collection of 300 cars—about 110 on display at any one time—visitors encounter a diverse range of vehicles, from early steam‑powered prototypes to sleek modern supercars. In addition to the impressive automotive exhibits, the museum hosts interactive attractions such as a Formula 1 simulator, a road‑safety educational programme, and an amphitheatre used for special events and film screenings. The unique, architecturally striking building spans 4,000 m², offering a striking backdrop for automotive history, and its central location near the National Archaeological Museum makes it a convenient and popular stop for travelers exploring historic Athens.
