Excavation Site At The Acropolis Museum Will Open Summer 2019

Coinciding with a decade of museum operations, the excavation site at the Acropolis Museum is set to open to the public in the summer of 2019. The Museum Director, Dimitris Pantermalis, announced the opening recently to the Central Archaeological Council. 

The excavation site is located on the south side of the Acropolis, below the museum, and will be showcased through special lighting effects, informative signage, and digital applications. The site will also be accessible to anyone with disabilities, and admission is likely to be free due to the increase in ticket cost.

Visitors will have the chance to see ruins of an Ancient Athenian neighborhood along an ancient road, as well as homes, bathhouses, and workshops from 5th century BC.
