About
The Old Acropolis Museum was a major archaeological museum in Athens, Greece, on the archeological site of the Acropolis. It is built in a niche at the eastern edge of the rock and most of it lies beneath the level of the hilltop, making it largely invisible. The site limited its size, so the Greek government decided in the late 1980s to build a new, larger museum, the New Acropolis Museum, at the foot of the Acropolis. The old museum closed in June 2007 so that its contents could be moved to the new one, which opened on 20 June 2009.
