Review & Frequenly Asked Questions:

Located in the heart of Athens, designed by architects Bernard Tschumi and Michael Photiadis, and opened in 2009, the Acropolis Museum has three levels of permanent collections in addition to the archaeological excavation at its foundations.

The museum contains the most significant finds from the Acropolis and the surrounding foothills. The Gallery of the Slopes of the Acropolis on the ground floor houses exhibits from the sanctuaries and everyday objects used by Athenians at the time. The 27-foot-high Archaic Gallery on the first floor hosts majestic sculptures from the first Acropolis temples, while the Parthenon Gallery on the third floor contains relief sculptures from the Parthenon frieze. The massive figures of the two pediments portray the birth of the Athena as she emerges from the head of Zeus as well as the battle between Athena and Poseidon over Attica.
