3.2.1 Introduction

By bringing together exhibits that were previously scattered among multiple

entities, notably the little Acropolis Museum constructed in the 19th century,
the new Acropolis Museum, together with its display space and comprehensive

array of visitor facilities, portrays the narrative of life on the Athenian

Acropolis and the area around it.
