New Acropolis Museum
The Acropolis Slopes
The first gallery of the Museum houses finds from the slopes of the Acropolis. The gallery’s glass floor affords views to the excavation, while its upward slope alludes at the ascent to the Acropolis. In antiquity, the slopes of the Sacred Rock constituted the transition zone between the city and its most famous sanctuary. This was the area where official and popular cults, as well as large and small sanctuaries existed alongside private houses.

The main entrance of the Acropolis Museum is at the Dionysiou Areopagitou Street. Visitors arriving on tour buses enter from the Hatzichristou Street entrance and make their way to the main entrance (on the Dionysiou Areopagitou side of the Museum).
All public areas of the Acropolis Museum are wheelchair accessible. Wheelchairs are available free of charge and are located in the checkroom in the main entrance of the Museum. Motorized wheelchairs are permitted and wheelchair-accessible restrooms are located on all floors of the Museum. A parking space is available for minibus groups with mobility difficulties at the Mitseon Street entrance. Elevators are located at all levels of the Museum.
Cloakroom
The cloakroom is located on the ground floor of the Museum, directly across from the Museum entrance. All bags, backpacks and packages must be deposited in the cloakroom. For safety of exhibits, bags may not be carried on one’s back. To avoid lengthy waits in line, such items should not be brought into the Museum.
Cell Phones
The use of cell/mobile phones is only permitted in the Museum lobby, Restaurant and Café areas.
Further Information
The Information Desk is located on the ground floor, at the Ticket Desk.
