Following conservation and restoration interventions, the statue of the Rider Acr. 700 (510-500 BC) has been re-displayed in the Acropolis Museum Archaic Gallery. The sculpture was mounted on its original inscribed ancient pedestal, which was formerly stored on the Acropolis rock. On the occasion of European Conservation Day 2026, the sculpture is presented to Museum visitors in its newly restored form.

For years, the sculpture had been displayed on a base constructed between 1956 and 1964, as part of re-exhibition works at the old Acropolis Museum by Yiannis Miliadis, who was at the time Curator of Antiquities of the Acropolis.

During recent conservation works, the former plexiglass supports were removed, and the sculpture was cleaned and remounted onto its ancient pedestal, thereby revealing its original form.
