The new Acropolis Museum in Athens
Posted by Cecilia under: Art; Culture .
Last Saturday Athens, Greece hosted a world-wide event with the opening of the new Acropolis Museum.
The construction of this monumental steel and glass museum lasted 11 years and cost over $170 million.
Visitors can find precious discoveries from the Acropolis and at the same time witness a spectacular view toward the Acropolis.
The exhibition is divided into 5 themed galleries. One of them is the one from the Archaic Period, with life-life-size statues and horse riders.
This important new museum would make a great destination during a visit to Greece.
One Comment so far...
