Founded in 1965, the Goulandris Natural History Museum is a museum in Kifissia, about 30 minutes far from Athens, home to zoological, botanical, marine, rock, mineral and fossil specimens. In the same complex, the Gaia Centre for Environmental Research & Education, founded in 2001, provides the unique opportunity to kids to get acquainted with Earth, the diversity of its landscapes, flora and fauna, via new interactive technologies, and understand the impact of human activity on the environment. It is an, indeed, excellent opportunity for kids to visit an interesting museum while in Athens!

The specialist staff of the Museum and the Gaia Centre guides the visitors through the exhibition areas, providing useful information regarding the creation and evolution of our planet.
