This post is dedicated to those of you who are interested in history, science as well as architecture. June 20th, 2009. Athens, Greece. An epoch-making exhibition / installation was opened, rightfully christened The Acropolis Museum. The museum features over 14,000 square meters (150,000 square feet) of exhibition show space and is located just South East of the historical “Parthenon.” The museum itself rests on the slopes of the Acropolis; some rooms actually hover above archeological excavations with glass floors. The area surrounding the new installation is already saturated in history and antiquity, what the Acropolis does is magnify the many Archaic findings and brings it’s authenticity more toward the visual surface. The second floor focuses attention on ancient anachronistic statues, including a sculpture of Alexander The Great’s head and five findings of Caryatid. Head over to their website for more information and photos.
