Mar 28- Exhausted from the recent touring, we slept in and barely made it to breakfast by the 10:30am closing. Then we spent the day walking around Athens. We stopped in the Numismatic museum which had been the 1834 home of German archaeologist Heinrich Schliemann and designed by architect Ernst Ziller. The museum has assembled a collection of over 450,000 coins, lead seals, medallions and precious stones from ancient Greece, Rome, Byzntium, medieval and modern Europe, and modern Greece. The walls and ceilings were painted by Slovenian artist Yuri Subic and the mosaic floors by Italian craftsmen. The building is considered one of Ziller’s most splendid works.
