The Acropolis Museum exhibits the pieces found on the hill in a modern building that visually dialogues with the Parthenon.




The Acropolis Museum, located at the foot of the Acropolis itself, offers a modern and rigorous presentation of the archaeological finds from the site. Its contemporary architecture, with large windows and staggered levels, allows direct views of the Acropolis while contemplating sculptures, friezes and everyday objects that tell the story of life in ancient Athens. The rooms are organized chronologically and thematically, highlighting the Parthenon frieze, the metopes and the archaic korai, presented with current museological criteria that facilitate understanding. In addition, the museum addresses conservation and restoration issues, and offers a wealth of contextual information on religion, politics and art. It is the perfect complement to a visit to the hill: it combines the contemplation of the monument with a detailed study of its materials and significance.
