When traveling in Greece, especially on islands, I often meet Greek Australians from Melbourne visiting their ancestral homes, in Greece, who say Melbourne is the third largest Greek-speaking city in the world after Athens and Thessaloniki. On my first night in Melbourne, I happened to be dining at a Greek-Australian lady's restaurant, where she told me that Melbourne had more than 150,000 Greek-Australians living. To visit the Greek museum was absolutely essential to me, and although I had hoped to find information mainly about Greek immigrants to Australia, I do not regret that the Greek museum was more like a comprehensive museum from ancient times to the establishment of Greek culture. Modern Greek state in the 19th century. The Greek Museum opened in 2007 and is located in the former Royal Mint, a charming new Renaissance building that began in the 1870s. The two-story exhibits are small in number, but there are a few options: from the Cycladic statues to Collins and loft pottery, to sculptures of religious objects from the Roman period to Byzantine textiles and jewelry from the post-Byzantine period (actually the Ottoman period) By the 19th century, the War of Independence. During such a broad period, the museum was reminiscent of one of the larger Benaki museums in Athens, and apparently cooperated with it. There are also ancient-inspired modern art, such as Sam Jinks’ winged female sculpture and Bill Henson’s photographs. Behind it is the cafe restaurant “Arcadia” and a souvenir shop.

    The museum is very secret and it's around the corner where I live, so it's hard to find a bar nearby in the evening. I came here early in the morning and needed tickets to show to a smaller audience.

    Let me recommend Captain Cook's cabin. This is a real cottage, simple, simple, even rough, with sloping roof tiling, stone wall, dark brown reflects the ancient vicissitudes. James Cook was born in England in 1728. Later, it was shipped to Melbourne by sea from Britain and then formed as it was. So it's worth going.

    The museum I visited was one of Melbourne's main sightseeing spots. The permanent exhibition is a furniture exhibition from prehistoric times to the Greek and Roman times, and the special exhibition is an exhibition using gold ornaments. It is great to see the exquisite exhibits such as belts and fans with gold ornaments. Plus, I saw precious things like vases and reliefs from the Greek and Roman eras unfamiliar to Japan.

    When I came to this museum, few people came in to visit, but the staff still served you very seriously. It felt like entering Ba 㴝 Sheng each hospital. It was empty. I was afraid that I would lose my direction. I was very tired. I was afraid that I would go a longer way.
