Acropolis Museum Entry Tickets Overview
The Acropolis Museum opened in 2009 at the foot of the Acropolis hill and immediately became one of the great museums of the world. Designed by Bernard Tschumi it holds over 4000 objects from the Acropolis spanning 1000 years of Athenian history. The building and collection work together in a way that makes the museum and the Acropolis site experiences that deepen each other.
The ground floor rests on a glass floor through which the remains of an ancient Athenian neighbourhood are visible below. The Archaic Gallery on the middle level holds some of the most beautiful sculptural works from the earlier Acropolis buildings, including painted pediment sculptures and korai figures in extraordinary condition. Each object rewards close attention and the gallery space gives you room to walk around the sculptures and see them from every angle.
The Parthenon Gallery occupies the entire top floor and is the most important space in the museum. The surviving sculptures from the Parthenon frieze are displayed around the perimeter of a glass-enclosed gallery with the actual Parthenon visible through the windows behind them. Where original sculptures are missing their positions are marked with casts of the pieces held in the British Museum. The contrast between the surviving originals and the casts makes the question of the Elgin Marbles impossible to ignore.
