The Acropolis Museum
Bernard Tschumi’s 14,000 square-metre glass and concrete landmark was completed in 2009 and consistently ranks on lists of the world’s top 10 museums, both for its contents and design. The highlight is the top floor Parthenon Gallery which ingeniously recreates the Parthenon frieze in all its glory (with copies of sections currently in the British Museum and other collections).
