Acropolis Museum Celebrates Fifth Anniversary

Acropolis Museum, which was recently ranked among 20 best Museums in the world, will celebrate its fifth anniversary on Friday, June 20. The celebration events will include a concert by Leon of Athens and a 3D presentation of the horse riders statues (Hippeis), which stand in the west side frieze. Reduced entrance tickets at 3 euros will be also available to all visitors. The west frieze horse riders with bronze weapons and reins that were added, will be presented in a three-dimensional picture with alternating lighting and coloring. These innovative ideas mark the beginning of the digital rehabilitation of the Parthenon marbles. Exhibition rooms and the Museum’s restaurant will remain open from 8 a.m until midnight and the entrance fee will be reduced to 3 euros for everybody. At 9:30 p.m Acropolis Museum will celebrate its fifth anniversary with a concert by the popular artist Leon of Athens held in the courtyard. Visitors will have the opportunity to hear their favorite songs from the two albums released so far by the Greek artist entitled “Future” and “Global” as well as remixes of popular songs from the international music industry.
