Introduction

The New Acropolis Museum opened in 2007 with a highly modern architectural style, occupying an area ten times larger than the old museum. Utilizing transparent floors, the museum showcases the ancient city's ruins clearly while reducing energy consumption. The collection includes all the artifacts from the old museum and items from various parts of Greece, including the relief sculpture of Athena Nike and the female statue column from the Temple of Erechtheion. Notably, the new museum is equipped with modern facilities to protect marble carvings, providing a basis for Greece to reclaim looted cultural relics.
