The small exhibition and the publication accompanying it include three sections:
a) a selection of annotated traveler images from the Acropolis and the Parthenon (by Carrey, Dodwell, Fauvel, Pars, among others),
b) a short biography and excerpts from Byron’s poems “The Curse of Minerva” and “Childe Harold’s Pilgrimage”, which refer to the brutal detachment and destruction of the Parthenon’s architectural sculptures by Elgin and their subsequent underhanded seizure and removal, and
c) Byron’s original passport, a genuine, unexpected Sultanic firman [Islamic royal mandate or decree], exhibited for the first time in the Museum, and serving as an opportunity to reopen the discussion on the return and reunification of the Parthenon sculptures.

An important historical heritage of ancient Greek culture is worth a visit. If you go, it is best to understand the culture in advance or find a commentator. If you go by yourself, you will be watching the flowers, and you may not know the interesting things about history. The only thing to note is that you don&#39;t bring any equipment related to commercial shooting, which may be temporarily deducted when entering the park. The second is not to touch the marble, even if it is not surrounded, you can&#39;t touch it. Some staff have been guarding it and remind tourists not to touch the marble.

A place not to be missed for a trip to Greece! The museum has a rich collection, and the exhibition is full of treasures from the fourth century, including stone carvings, pottery, bronze, gold and so on. Worth seeing!

The Theatre of Hirod Atticus and the Column of Patten, however, the Column of the Acropolis is not real. The Column of the Acropolis Museum and... The British Museum is like most Greek temples, and the temple is used as a vault. 1, built in 447 BC to replace the old Parthenon (destroyed in 480 BC by Persians). 2, for a while was the treasure of the Tyrolean alliance (later turned into the Athenian Empire). In the 6th century, Patnon was converted to a church dedicated to the Virgin Mary (the formerly dedicated Athena was also a virgin). 4. In the early 1460s, after being conquered by the Ottoman Turks, it was used as a mosque. In 1687, it was used as a gunpowder bank by the Turkish army and was unfortunately badly damaged in an explosion. By 1800, only half of the statues of Patnon had survived, and British Ambassador Sir Erkin, after obtaining the approval of the Ottoman government, began to transport half of the surviving statues back to the UK at his own expense from 1801, and began to be displayed in the British Museum from 1817.

Although it is a site under restoration, you can still feel the weight of history. The ticket inspector did not immediately recognize the admission voucher. He looked at it for a long time and asked why there was no price displayed. We explained and finally got in.

Acropolis Museum

千帆尽处无夕阳

The biggest feature of the Acropolis Museum is her spatial design, which is equivalent to making the Acropolis as a whole a space easy. Standing in front of the huge glass curtain, watching the Acropolis ruins, it is like a space conversion. The sculpture art of ancient Greece is indeed inextricably added. My favorite is the maiden column of the Poseidon Temple; it is said that everyone has been visiting the Acropolis Museum for a long time before a sculpture. It is a pity that my stay is too short. I suggest you leave more time for the Acropolis Museum for at least half a day.
