Our check
What we established National Archaeological Museum: the official site is namuseum.gr. Its tickets are sold on tickets.hh.gr, the ticket shop its official site links to. Its Wikidata entry, Q637187, names the same official site. Our editor reviewed it and signed it off before it was listed, on .
What our tests checked We last tested the ticket link on : it answered over a secure connection and the page it opens offers tickets. That shows the link works; on its own, it does not prove who runs the site. We last read namuseum.gr for this page on .
