The museum itself was awesome. The problem i had was the audio was in English but spoken by a non English speaking person with a heavy accent so for all purposes it was impossible to understand her and therefore what i was looking at. I was extremely disappointed in but getting the history i so wanted to understand. Also. The museum changed it's hours due to the holiday but didn't list it on the website. So twice we arrived and the museum was closed. We weather alot of time due to this plus we didn't have enough time left once it was open to see the exhibits as long as we would've liked to because we planned all our time around other sites and their hours etc. I really could not fit the life of me understand why a non natural or clear English speaking person was chosen to do an audio for English speaking people?!?!? I was going to ask for a refund but i was too busy doing my other site seeing. Thank you

So glad we purchased the tickets on line. The museum was a great experience and we learned so much about the history. Be sure to watch the movie it provides a lot of important detail and all that went on with this remarkable landmark.

The whole museum is built like the Parthenon with the frisians and reliefs, the best part was for me the holographic golden Athene statue from the top of the Parthenon.

The Tour was exceptional. I used the Free Audio guide provided by the Museum. I felt cheated as I was trying to order from the Museum site not this intermediary.

Your Experience

Opened in 2007, the Athens Acropolis Museum has one of the largest collections of fascinating Greek artifacts and sculptures that were housed in the Parthenon. The primary highlight is the cavernous excavation site below the museum. Believed to be an active neighborhood consisting of sea streets, houses, and shops from around 3000 BC to the 12th century A.D., the site is a highly unique exhibit.

There are four main galleries in the museum, and you have access to all of them! The Gallery of the Slopes of the Acropolis contains objects of everyday life used over the centuries. The Archaic Gallery houses some of the oldest findings dating back to the 7th century B.C. The Parthenon Gallery features a video presentation of the Parthenon and how it was designed and built. The final gallery contains a wide variety of fabulous artifacts including the coffered ceiling of the Propylaea and sculptures from the Temple of Athena Nike. You can also spot a range of amazing portraits depicting philosophers and historical figures. If you so choose, you can learn more about these wonderful artefacts and the museum with the help of an engaging audio guide.
