New Museum of Excavation Opens in Athens

The inauguration of the 'Museum of the Excavation' beneath the Acropolis Museum in Athens, attended by President Katerina Sakellaropoulou, showcases 1,150 artifacts from an ancient Athens neighborhood discovered during excavations for the museum. These artifacts, ranging from statues to everyday items, offer a glimpse into life over 4,500 years ago. The museum aims to enhance visitors' understanding of Ancient Athens and supports Greece's argument for the reunification of the Parthenon Sculptures. Additionally, in Thrissur, Kerala, historical landmarks like the Vadakkunnathan Temple and the grand Peechi Dam attract travelers seeking to explore the rich cultural heritage of the region. Across the globe, the Acropolis Museum celebrates its 15th anniversary with a collaboration with Google Arts & Culture, offering a virtual journey through the ancient city beneath the museum and showcasing the iconic Parthenon's architectural grandeur.
