National Technical University of Athens in the context of "National Archaeological Museum of Athens"

Exarcheia (Greek: Εξάρχεια pronounced [eˈksaɾ.çi.a]) is a neighbourhood in central Athens, Greece close to the historical building of the National Technical University of Athens. Exarcheia took its name from a 19th-century businessman named Exarchos (Greek: Έξαρχος) who opened a large general store there. Exarcheia is bordered on the east by Kolonaki and is framed by Patission Street, Panepistimiou Street and Alexandras Avenue.

The Athens Polytechnic uprising occurred in November 1973 as a massive student demonstration of popular rejection of the Greek military junta of 1967–1974. It began on 14 November 1973, escalated to an open anti-junta revolt, and ended in bloodshed in the early morning of 17 November after a series of events starting with a tank crashing through the gates of the Athens Polytechnic. It is believed that approximately 40 people were killed by the Greek army on that day, and more than 2,000 were injured. This was the first event in a series of political crises that ultimately led to the fall of the junta in the summer of 1974, just a few months later.

The uprising had a lasting impact on Greek politics; it marked a break between the Greek youth and traditional leftist parties (KKE), and it also saw the beginning of the revival of Greek anarchism. The repression faced by students gave rise to the terrorist organization 17N.

Eleni Tositsa (1796 – 1 April 1866; Greek: Ελένη Τοσίτσα) was a major benefactor to cultural and educational establishments in Greece, including the National Archaeological Museum and the National Technical University of Athens.

Eleni Tositsa was born in Metsovo, Epirus, in 1796. She married Michael Tositsas in 1818 and moved with him first to Alexandria in 1820 and then to Athens in 1854. During the Greek revolution, she organised the buying and freeing of enslaved Greeks from Egyptian slave markets. After her husband's death in 1855, she inherited most of his property, which he instructed in his will should be used to benefit the Greek state. Tositsa donated large sums of this money to various schools, including funding a new building for the Educational Society's girls' school (known as the Tositseion), and founding a girls' school in her hometown of Metsovo, and to Queen Amalia's Orphanage.

Zografou (Greek: Ζωγράφου, romanized: Zōgráfou) is a suburban town of approximately 70,000 inhabitants in the eastern part of the Athens agglomeration, Greece. It was named after the Greek politician Ioannis Zografos. To the east of Zografou lies mount Hymettus. The area, being close to the centre of Athens, developed similar urban sprawl characteristics, with high-rise buildings of even 10 stories tall being the norm. The municipality is also home to the National and Kapodistrian University of Athens and the National Technical University of Athens campuses and a significant percentage of the local population are students, faculty, and employees of both institutions. Zografou includes the smaller areas of Ilissia and Goudi.
