The Acropolis Museum


The grand opening of the new Acropolis Museum took place this summer. It was built in order to house every artifact found on the rock and on its feet, covering a large period of time, from the Greek Bronze Age to Roman and Byzantine Greece but lies also on the archaeological site of Makrygianni ruins of a part of Roman and early Byzantine Athens.
Photography is now prohibited in the Museum...luckily I had the chance to take some photos before this decision was taken.
