With breathtaking views of the Acropolis and a 360-degree panorama of modern and historic Athens, the New Acropolis Museum is designed by world acclaimed architect Bernard Tschumi to house the wealth of recovered antiquities on the Acropolis and reunify all the surviving pieces of the unique architectural sculptures of the Parthenon.
