The National Hellenic Museum will open to the public Dec. 10. The four-story, 40,000-square foot museum includes exhibits on ancient Greece, displays on the city's Greek community and a library and resource center.

One exhibit is interactive and is called "Gods, Myths & Mortals: Discovering Ancient Greece." And there's a 13-foot tall Trojan Horse for children to climb.

The museum's mission is to chronicle the Greek American journey through exhibitions, oral histories and education programs, among other things. The facility is located in the city's Greek enclave, just west of downtown.
