By Creatives Unite NewsroomVisitors of the Acropolis Museum of Athens are invited to join the Museum’s archaeologists on an engaging dual journey through time, bridging past and future.
Τhe Museum participates in the European Heritage Days 2025 and this year’s programme is themed ‘The Erechtheion and the Acropolis Museum: an unusual ancient temple within a contemporary building’, in the context of the pan-European theme ‘Architectural heritage – bridging the past with the future’.
Registered participants will enjoy a 70 minute guided tour, bringing together the sacred monument Erechtheion and the modern building of the museum, forging a connection between the ancient world of gods and mortals and today’s visitor.
Situated on the northern side of the Sacred Rock, the Erechtheion is distinguished by its ingenious architectural design, which successfully accommodated multiple cults, incorporated mythical sacred sites, and preserved local traditions of Athens’ distant past. In parallel, the Acropolis Museum – an emblematic contemporary public building – was created to safeguard, house, and showcase the masterpieces of the Acropolis, as well as the remains of the ancient neighborhood uncovered on its site. Its architectural design, shaped by the constraints of its location, reflects the continuity of history, mirrors the ancient routes and topographies of the Sacred Rock, and forges a connection between the ancient world of gods and mortals and today’s visitor.
The guided tours are scheduled on Sunday 28 September at 10 a.m. in English and at 1 p.m. in Greek.
Registration is limited to 30 persons per program and participants need to register online at events.theacropolismuseum.gr (Registrations start on Friday 19/9)
To ensure participation in the program, a general admission ticket must be obtained by presenting the reservation code (of the registration) at the ticket counters up to 20 minutes before the program starts.
On Sunday 28 September from 5 p.m. until 8 p.m., there will be free entrance to the Museum exhibition areas, on the occasion of this year’s celebration of the European Heritage Days.
