The Acropolis Museum
The Acropolis Museum, situated on the south-eastern slope of the Acropolis in Athens, houses artefacts found on, and close to, the Acropolis from the Bronze Age to the Byzantine period. It opened in 2009 to replace the original nineteenth-century museum on the Acropolis summit which had increasingly become too small to house findings or cope sufficiently with visitor numbers. The Museum provides a range of activities for families including backpacks and activity trails produced by the Acropolis Restoration Service Education Team.
