Athens Eye Candy - Part 4

This is the last batch of Athens pictures.  These pictures are all from the National Archeological Museum in Athens.  It's huge, and contains many amazing examples of Greek works.

Lion!  Isn't he cute?  Seriously, I don't know why I'm obsessed with the lion statues, but so it goes!

I don't remember who this is.  Crap.



This gold crown was gorgeous!


The little horned guy is Pan, and I think the woman is Lucrece...I really should have done this months ago!

The "real" death mask of Agamemnon.  I use the quotes around the real part, as it may or may not actually be Agamemnon.  I prefer to think that it is.  We saw replicas in Mycenae, but this one is the original. 

Mosaic Tile Work

 
There was a courtyard at the museum.  This little guy was just wandering around!

Chris took this picture of the Acropolis one of the days we were wandering around.  It is not Photoshopped!  I just love it :)
