Founded in 2004 by Paul and Anna-Belinda Firos, the Herakleidon Museum is a non-profit centre for popularising science and technology. Its first decade centred on art shows, including M.C. Escher, Victor Vasarely and Edvard Munch. Today its programmes draw on EUREKA, an exhibition on the science, art and technology of the ancient Greeks. It sits in Thissio, near the Acropolis and the Ancient Agora.
