New Acropolis Museum

The new Acropolis Museum, opened in 2009, was designed by Swiss architect Bernard Chum and is located at the foot of the Acropolis. In the collection of the museum you can see statues, reliefs and artifacts collected from the Parthenon and other parts of the Acropolis complex.

The museum is located in an ultra-modern building with an area of 226,000 square meters, which is 10 times the area of the old museum building. Its collection includes many objects moved from the Acropolis since 1834.

The museum has 6 permanent exhibitions where you can see the Acropolis in antiquity, engravings preserved in Greece, including portraits of Poseidon, Apollo, Artemis, Aphrodite and Erot, as well as a breathtaking view of the Parthenon through a glass wall and other exhibits from the Classicist, Hellenistic and Roman times.
