Athens, Greece
The monuments in the Acropolis complex withstood the destruction of several centuries, both during ancient times and the Middle Ages. Up until the seventeenth century, travelers to the Acropolis depicted the famous structures as being still intact. This stay the case until the Propylaia was blown up during the middle of the seventeenth century while it was being used to store gunpowder.
After visitors cross the lobby on the ground floor of the Acropolis Museum towards the museum’s turnstyles, they will find the first collection of the museum. A glass-floored, wide ascending gallery houses objects found from the slopes of the famous ancient Acropolis.
The floor of the Gallery of the Slopes of the Acropolis is occasionally transparent, offering a view of the archaeological excavation. The gallery’s upward slope is an allusion to the ascent of the Acropolis. The gallery is home to the items found from the sanctuaries established on the slopes of the Acropolis, along with items that the people of Athens have used in their daily lives from many historical time periods.
