Museu Acropolis Museum

The new Acropolis Museum makes a serious impression, primarily due to the huge exhibition space of 14,000 square meters, which houses museum exhibits (the total area of the museum is 25,000 square meters). This space allows you to view all the museum exhibits as comfortably as possible, without risking feeling lost among the bas-reliefs, statues and other fragments of ancient Greek temples. It is in this museum that you can see five caryatids of the Erechtheion (the sixth, as you know, is in the British Museum). During your walks through the museum, it may be interesting to stroll through the ancient excavations located under the museum, for which the basement of the Acropolis Museum was raised above ground level on huge concrete columns..

It is worth visiting the museum before visiting the Acropolis. Why: you will understand what you will see at the top of the Acropolis and how it looked in ancient times. Also in the museum you will see the original parts of the Acropolis buildings, because there are many replicas upstairs.

It is better to get tickets online and not stand in line.
