I had a chance to stop in the War Museum in Athens, and really enjoyed the visit. There are a lot more firearms on display than I expected, covering the whole gamut from muzzleloaders to fairly modern arms. The Balkan Wars, World War One, and World War Two all get a lot of attention, as does ancient Greek history (of course). There are a couple other collections housed in the building, including a very good collection donated by a Greek officer around 1900. If you are visiting Athens, it is most definitely worth a visit, and you should plan to spend more time there than you would normally expect.
You can also find a complete 3D virtual tour of the museum (and all the other museums run by the Greek military) at their web site:

At Forgotten Weapons I think the most interesting guns out there are the most obscure ones. I try to search out experimental and prototype weapons and show you how they work, in addition to more conventional guns that you may not have heard of before. You’re much more likely to find a video on the Cei Rigotti or Webley-Fosbery here than an AR or Glock. So, do you want to learn about something new today? Then stick around!
