A Visit to the Modern Acropolis Museum

Parthenon is an iconic sight of Athens, world renowned as the cradle of Democracy and demonstrating the significant civilization that thrived in Greece centuries ago. When you visit Athens, your first stop should definitely be the Acropolis and the wider area of the Greek capital, known as the historic center. Just outside the Acropolis metro station and a breath from the Parthenon lies the modern Acropolis Museum. It has been especially designed to allow abundant sunlight and offer breathtaking views to the ancient monuments.


The museum has been awarded multiple times for its modernity and its wealth of exhibits, as well as the well-organized interior. Once you have found yourself in the threshold of the museum, you will be dazzled by its brightness and the vastness of the place. You will start wandering through the corridors and gazing at the most wonderful findings of antiquity. In the museum, there are rare collections that you should not miss out on. The gallery of the slopes of the Acropolis, the Archaic Gallery and the Parthenon Gallery, Propylaia, Athena Nike and Erechtheion are just few of the exhibits that will fascinate you.

You can catch your breath enjoying the marvelous scenery over a cup of coffee or a refreshing beverage at the café of the museum. Alternatively, you can admire the natural wonders of Athens outside and carry on with your tour to the museum. It is certainly worth visiting the Acropolis Museum at least once in your life, as this spectacle cannot be matched with anything else you have ever witnessed!
