The starting point of the exhibition is located on the main floor. Besides warrior statues and helmets, sanctuaries and funerary monuments of the 6th century BC are exhibited here. In the North Hall, visitors to the Old Museum experience a world of gods, heroes and legends on vases and in the form of sculptures, including the master vases of Andokides and Euphronios and the Amazon of Polyklet.

In addition, the permanent exhibition includes objects from the era of Hellenism, which offers insights into both the life of rulers and the everyday life of ordinary people. A magnificent collection of ancient coins as well as "350 Years of the Collection of Classical Antiquities" in time-lapse form the conclusion of the tour.
