The New Acropolis Museum in Athens, Greece, designed by Bernard Tschumi Architects, officially opens in June. The historic masterpieces of the New Acropolis Museum—from the archaeological remains of ancient Athens left visible beneath the building, to the glorious Parthenon frieze installed at the top—will be displayed in total for the first time when the Museum celebrates its much-anticipated official opening on Saturday, June 20, 2009. More than 100 concrete pillars support the building over the remains of an ancient Athenian city, discovered during pre-construction, and glass walls will allow exhibits to be viewed in natural light, as they would have been seen in ancient times. Additional project images and fascinating project back-story are available on the source site.
