ATHENS, May 18 (Xinhua) Greece celebrated International Museum Day on Tuesday by opening the doors of its museums nationwide to the public free of charge, including a new museum in the center of Athens.
The Loverdos museum, a new branch of the Byzantine and Christian Museum, welcomed its first visitors on Tuesday. The museum is housed at the Ziller-Loverdos mansion, a historic architectural jewel of the 19th century.
