The Acropolis Museum After Hours
The Acropolis Museum, designed by Bernard Tschumi, opened 2009, housing the complete surviving sculptural programme of the Acropolis, is one of the finest museum buildings in the world. Its top floor, glass-walled with a direct view of the Parthenon above, contains the assembled Frieze, Metopes, and Pediment sculptures in their original spatial relationship. FFGR Greece arranges private after-hours access to this gallery through cultural institution partnerships.
The Private Evening
Your guide meets you at the museum entrance at dusk, the moment when the Parthenon above is illuminated and the glass top floor becomes a theatre of light. Two hours in the Frieze gallery with your specialist: the story of every surviving section, the gaps where the Elgin Marbles were removed, the recent replicas installed in their place. Dinner reservation at a Plaka restaurant follows.
Museum Membership Programme
FFGR Greece maintains a Friends of the Acropolis Museum relationship. Members receive advance notification of special exhibitions and private events throughout the year.
