Product Info

-What you can expect-
With this experience, you can visit the new Acropolis Museum at your own pace! The museum, one of the most important in Greece, has a total area of 25,000 square meters and includes archaeological treasures dating to pre-historic times. It is divided into 4 main galleries and offers the opportunity to the visitor to see archaeological artifacts and learn about the Acropolis site.

After crossing the ground floor lobby, you'll find the Gallery of the Slopes of the Acropolis. This collection houses finds from the sanctuaries that were founded on the slopes of the Acropolis, as well as objects that Athenians used in everyday life from all historic periods. Continue to the Archaic Acropolis Gallery where, with the benefit of the changing natural light, you will discern and discover the delicate surface variations of sculptures and select the vantage point from which to observe the exhibits.

In the last gallery, you will admire unique works that became prototypes for subsequent periods from antiquity to today. For the first time ever, it is possible to view the coffered ceiling of the Propylaia, the sculptures from the parapet of the temple of Athena Nike, and finally, the Caryatids – or Korai of the Erechtheion at close proximity on the balcony overlooking the Gallery of the Slopes of the Acropolis. Conclude your visit at the north side of the first-floor gallery where you will see numerous statues once placed on the Acropolis, which represent gods, heroes, mythological elements and portraits of famous men.

You can choose between the Entrance ticket or the Entrance ticket with audio guide.

FAQ

1. What is the difference between the Acropolis and the Acropolis Museum?

The Acropolis refers to the ancient citadel and its monumental complex, including iconic structures like the Parthenon, Erechtheion, and Propylaea, which stand atop a rocky outcrop overlooking Athens. The Acropolis Museum, however, is a modern archaeological museum located at the foot of the Acropolis hill. Its purpose is to house all the artifacts found on the Acropolis site, providing a dedicated space for their preservation, study, and display.

2. Why is the Acropolis Museum significant to visitors?

The Acropolis Museum is highly significant as it provides context and an in-depth understanding of the ancient Acropolis site. It showcases a vast collection of invaluable artifacts excavated from the sacred rock, from the Archaic period to Roman times. Its transparent floors reveal ongoing archaeological excavations of an ancient Athenian neighborhood beneath the building, and the museum's design cleverly positions the Parthenon Gallery to align with the actual monument, enhancing the visitor experience.

3. What are the must-see exhibits at the Acropolis Museum?

Key exhibits at the Acropolis Museum include the Archaic Gallery, famous for its beautifully preserved Kore statues, and the Caryatids, which are five of the six original statues that once supported the Erechtheion. The Parthenon Gallery on the top floor is a major highlight, displaying fragments of the Parthenon's metopes, friezes, and pediments, meticulously arranged to reconstruct their original placement on the temple.

4. How can visitors reach the Acropolis Museum using public transport?

The most convenient way to reach the Acropolis Museum by public transport is via the Athens Metro. Visitors should take the Red Line (Line 2) and alight at the 'Acropoli' station. The museum is located just a short, direct walk from the metro station's exit, making it easily accessible for all visitors.

5. How long does a typical visit to the Acropolis Museum take?

A typical visit to the Acropolis Museum usually takes approximately 2 to 3 hours for a comprehensive experience. This allows ample time to explore all the galleries, appreciate the exhibits, and view the archaeological excavations beneath the museum. Visitors with a strong interest in ancient history or art may choose to spend more time immersing themselves in the collections.

6. How can visitors purchase admission tickets for the Acropolis Museum?

Visitors can purchase admission tickets for the Acropolis Museum either directly at the museum's ticket counter on arrival or, for added convenience and guaranteed entry, through online travel platforms. Booking via KKday, for example, allows you to secure your tickets in advance, streamlining your entry process and potentially offering advantages such as specific entry times, which helps in planning your visit efficiently.

7. What unique features can visitors explore at the Acropolis Museum?

Beyond its extensive collection, the Acropolis Museum offers several unique features. Visitors can observe ongoing archaeological excavations of an ancient Athenian neighborhood directly beneath the museum through transparent glass floors, providing a fascinating glimpse into daily life in antiquity. The Parthenon Gallery is specifically oriented towards the Acropolis, allowing for a direct visual connection between the artifacts and their original monument.

8. Is it recommended to visit the Acropolis Museum before or after touring the Acropolis site?

Many visitors find it highly beneficial to visit the Acropolis Museum before touring the Acropolis site itself. The museum provides essential historical context, detailed information about the monuments, and displays the original artifacts in a climate-controlled environment. This foundational understanding can significantly enrich your experience when you later explore the Acropolis, helping you appreciate the grandeur and significance of the ruins more deeply.
