THE NEW ACROPOLIS MUSEUM

THE NEW ACROPOLIS MUSEUMThe new Acropolis Museum was designed with two objectives: the first was to offer the best conditions for the exhibition of its exhibits and secondly to be a Museum that welcomes and befriends its visitors.

A walk through its galleries is a walk through history – between the masterpieces of the Archaic and Classical periods, but also in the ancient neighbourhoods of Athens.

The Museum offers many opportunities for rest and recreation, as well as a visitor friendly environment for some of the most emblematic works of antiquity.
