Acropolis Museum
Overview
Bernard Tschumi's glass and concrete building at the foot of the sacred rock, aligned with the Parthenon above. The frieze is displayed as it wrapped the temple, with plaster casts standing in for the Elgin Marbles in London. The museum sits over an excavated neighborhood visible through glass floors.
