On Sunday, 28th of September, the Acropolis Museum celebrates the European Heritage Days 2025, dedicated to the theme “Architectural heritage – bridging the past with the future”, by presenting two remarkable landmarks: the Erechtheion of the Acropolis and the Acropolis Museum, highlighting the subtle analogies between them.

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.

Join the Museum’s archaeologists on an engaging dual journey through time, bridging past and future.
