Panel Discussion and Multimedia Presentation
Wednesday, October 17, 2007
For the first time in millennia, the sculptural masterpieces of the Acropolis of Athens are getting a worthy home. The just completed New Acropolis Museum meets all the practical and conceptual challenges of the Acropolis as a world patrimony, idea, landmark, and setting. The museum uses cutting-edge glass architecture to draw the magical image of the Acropolis into its galleries and enhance the visitor's experience.
