New Acropolis Museum

By , About.com Guide

The New Acropolis Museum is the brilliant replacement for the "old" Acropolis Museum. A destination in its own right, it combines modern architecture with a thrilling display of the statues and artifacts from the Parthenon and the rest of the Acropolis nearby. It also boasts a great little cafe.
