1. The Parthenon

Why we consider the Parthenon an exceptional monument of world cultural heritage?
Why has it much preoccupied both previous and current viewers?
Visitors have the opportunity to discuss with Archaeologist-Hosts issues relating to the
architecture, the decoration and the exhibition of this famous monument, as well as its
symbolism and history. They will also be able to look closely into its sculptures and to admire
the temple in its natural environment through the transparent wall of the third floor of the
Museum. 
The presentation is enhanced with special video projections in the Parthenon Gallery
featuring 3D-imaging of the frieze blocks and with the use of a digital tablet.
