The Acropolis Museum. Το Μουσείο της Ακρόπολης

After yesterdays break, I will show you a few photographs taken outside the new Acropolis Museum of Athens.
Note the reflections of Acropolis and the surrounding buildings, of the glass panes of the Museum, and the transparent glass floor leading to the entrance of the Museum.
Μετά το χθεσινό διαλειμμα, θα σας παρουσιάσω μερικές φωτογραφίες από το εξωτερικό του νέου Μουσείου της Ακρόπολης. Προσέξτε τις αντανακλάσεις της Ακρόπολης πάνω στα τζάμια του μουσείου και το γυάλινο πάτωμα του διαδρόμου που οδηγεί στην είσοδο.

Fantastic photo tour, Costas! The reflections are an interesting blend of new and old architecture.

The museum looks outstanding - just perfect to preserve and display all that historic beauty - it's quite a gem, and you really showed us what it's like. I'm often amazed at how poorly some museum web sites show what they are really about. It takes creative and dedicated bloggers and photographers to enhance the web and really show us what it's like. You did a great job!

The juxtaposition of the two worlds side by side is surreal -- even in the photos you took one can still see it is very much a scared site. Splendid photography.

Μνημείο είν΄αντάξιο
με τον πολιτισμό μας
που κάνει υπερήφανο
σήμερα το λαό μας.

Fantastic images of the museum. So many beautiful reflections on the glass facade. The glass floor is an ideal place to play with reflections too.
