For the first time ever all the surviving treasures of the Acropolis will be seen together in one place. Works currently held in storage, in other Athenian museums and museums abroad will be brought together within the one museum close to their original location. Five collections -namely the finds from the slopes of the Acropolis, works from the archaic period, the classical Acropolis, the post-Parthenon and the roman period- comprise the Museum's exhibition program. A sixth major exhibit is the remains of the ancient Athenian city revealed by archaeological excavations on the site of the museum.
Visitors to the new Acropolis Museum will also be able to visit the archaeological remains of a neighborhood of ancient Athens in the lower ground level of the Museum. Excavations by archaeologists prior to the commencement of the Museum's construction revealed ancient roads, houses, bathhouses, stores and workshops. The site which was settled for over 4,000 years (3000 BC - 1200 AD) and the thousands of artifacts found in it add to our knowledge of the history of the area.
