The new museum of Acropolis

Yesterday was a special day not only for the greek civilians but for the whole world. That’s because one vision of decades that came true. The ancient meanings of liberty, freedom and democracy now have a great place to express themselves. This is nothing else than the new Acropolis museum.

Acropolis is the hill here one of the greatest (ancient) monuments, among them Parthenon, are built. Until now, there was only a small museum that didn’t have enough space for many of the monuments to be placed. Before thirty years the greek government decided that a new museum was essential in order to put all these pieces of art.

However, the museum was built only now because there were many conflicts where it should have been built and where (near the Acropolis, to another part of town where there are not so many ancient ruins). Also, it was pretty difficult for architects and archeologists to conduct all these surveys. The transportation of the marbles was a very difficult process.

But now, the new museum is ready and it opened it’s gates last night. From now on the whole world is invited to visit it. Through this, tourists can enjoy the original marbles (apart from those that are stolen from the british museum) and understand the importance of the unique piece of arts. Only when you see them you can understand how fabulus they are. Furthermore, tourists could enjoy the marbles even if they were put in an island on Atlantic Ocean, but only when you have the view of the original place that they were put you can “feel” the marbles. You can feel the majesty of them and what this represented for the ancient Athens and why all meanings of democracy, liberty and freedom were found in the ancient city of Athens. When you see the marbles and then rise your eyes and see the Acropolis you have an entire view of the original purpose for which they were built.

From, the above it is obvious that the new Acropolis museum is one unique museum that was built to host except for these marbles, all the ancient ideals that nowadays we consider as granted…
