The Hellenic Children’s Museum is a non-profit educational and cultural organisation, established in 1987. In collaboration with the Municipality of Athens Cultural Organisation, it created the Children’s Museum at 14 Kidathineon Street in Plaka in 1994.

The HCM's role in producing the Kit
The Museum provided assistance with regard to the appropriate educational methodology, so that the package would encourage critical thinking, initiative, creativity and desire for knowledge, as well as sensitization to environmental issues.

The Children’s Museum is a space specially designed to meet the needs and abilities of children, and to support the parents and the teachers who contribute to their development. The philosophy of the Museum is based on a contemporary educational theory, showing that children learn most effectively through active participation and interaction with objects.

The Children’s Museum is a place that offers educational and recreational opportunities, and constitutes an important first step in a child’s familiarity with the concept of a “museum”.
