The new Acropolis Museum


Parsi had the rare luck to be one of the very few to visit the new Acropolis Museum on its very first day after the magnificent Ceremony of Inauguration that took place last night.

Words are poor to describe what I saw/felt, and pics couldn't possibly capture the beauty but hey, it's the best I can do.

~Updated with more pics~

More photos like the first one, please.

Hehehe, you mean close-ups or statues?

Barbebleue said...

Both, please

Parsifal said...

Vale, las subo hoy mismo!

Close-ups, per favore, like the gorgeous woman with the superb hairdo at the top of your report.
Thank you.

Πού είναι ο κόσμος;! Με τις καθαρίστριες πήγες, πρωί-πρωί;!

Δεν υπήρχε κόσμος! Ήμασταν σχεδόν μόνοι αφού για εχτές υπήρχαν ελάχιστα μόνο εισιτηρια κ το Μουσείο λειτουργούσε λίγο "πειραματικά", παροτι απέξω υπήρχαν πολλοί τουρίστες που παρακαλούσαν για ενα εισιτήριο. Εγω την καλή μου πράξη την έκανα...έδωσα 1 που μου περισσευε σε μια αργεντινή (+3 πόντοι στο point system για τον παράδεισο).

Glorious monuments of beauty. Wonderful sculptors. Thank you for the additional pictures Parsi.

Gracias, Parsifal. Enhorabuena por el Museo y tan sólo espero que pronto les devuelvan lo que es suyo.

Looks absolutely wonderful! Makes me want to come to Athens again to see it with my own eyes. Tell me, did they reserve a good spot for the Elgin Marbles (which the British should return on the double, of course!)?
