EXCAVATION MUSEUM

Marking its 15th anniversary, the Acropolis Museum introduced its "Excavation Museum". This pioneering space on the southern excavation site features 1,150 artifacts from over 4,500 years of history.

The exhibits, organized thematically and chronologically, uniquely highlight aspects of daily life in an ancient neighborhood: household organization, the activities of men, women, and children, entertainment, communication, trade, workspaces, and places of worship.

Stories of the daily life in a neighborhood of ancient Athens

How did the inhabitants of the ancient neighborhood that spreads out underneath the Acropolis Museum live? How did they deal with their daily needs, equip their homes and worship their gods? What were the occupations of men, women and children?

A 4,500-year-old story unfolds in the streets and the ruins of the houses of the archaeological excavation, but also through the 1,150 objects –selected out of the thousands- left behind by the people who were born, lived and created in this part of ancient Athens.

The archaeologists of the Museum are waiting for you to join them in discovering a charming world, distant and at the same time familiar.
