This dazzling museum at the foot of the Acropolis’ southern slope showcases its surviving treasures.

The Acropolis’ dazzling museum is built at the foot of the monument’s southern slope and showcases its surviving treasures.

The collection covers the Archaic period to the Roman one, but the emphasis is on the Acropolis of the 5th century BC, considered the apotheosis of Greece’s artistic achievement.

The museum reveals layers of history: ruins are visible in its see-through floor, and, through floor-to-ceiling windows the Acropolis is always visible above.
The surprisingly good-value restaurant has superb views and there’s also a fine museum shop.
