Acropolis Museum

The Acropolis Museum is an archaeological museum focused on the findings of the archaeological site of the Acropolis of Athens [1]. The museum was built to house every artifact found on the rock and on the surrounding slopes, from the Greek Bronze Age to Roman and Byzantine Greece [1]. The Acropolis Museum also lies over the ruins of part of Roman and early Byzantine Athens [1]. The museum was founded in 2003, while the Organization of the Museum was established in 2008 [1]. It opened to the public on 20 June 2009 [1]. More than 4,250 objects are exhibited over an area of 14,000 square metres [1]. The museum is located by the southeastern slope of the Acropolis hill, on the ancient road that led up to the "sacred rock" in classical times [1].
