εξαιρετική ακουστική στον χώρο, καθώς και η τεχνική προετοιμασία με τα κεριά να περιβάλλουν τους συντελεστές, πολύ όμορφο ''δέσιμο'' του χώρου με την εκτέλεση των κομματιών, τις δημιουργίες του enio morricone, όμορφη ''δομή'' και συγχορδία. Ένα πολύ ευχάριστο απόγευμα

It is a neoclassical building founded in 1858 by the then Queen Amalia to a design by the French architect Florimond Boulanger, and inaugurated in 1875, after the design was simplified by the architect Panagiotis Kalkos. Since 1962 it has housed the National Historical Museum of the Historical and Ethnological Society of Greece.
