You want to visit the Agora Museum because:

• It’s a quiet haven from hot summer days or cold winter winds.
• You can find here the remains of ordinary life in long-ago Athens: an infant’s potty chair; a Spartan soldier’s shield; a baby’s grave; a citizen’s ballot; a poor man’s cup; a child’s knuckle bones.
• There is not another museum in the world that has the wealth of artifacts related to Athens’ democratic government: a ballot box and ballots; a jury selection device; a proclamation against tyranny; a timer for political and legal speeches; standards for weights and measures; discarded ballots from ostracisms.
• You’ll find here direct connections to famous historical figures like Pericles, Themistocles, and Kimon.
