3/5 - Okay
Strangely oversized, almost a folly, perhaps to make a point to the British government about the marbles. Ancient Agora & museum was VASTLY superior. I even got to feed a tortoise with dandelion heads - a sweet childhood memory.

Must see
Pre-book tickets
Not a part of the combo ticket that includes many museums in Athens as well as the Acropolis, sadly. But they have done a beautiful job and gave us a wonderful experience of seeing what's been unearthed around the Acropolis, as well as setting up what they do have (and what the BM won't give back) to have a life-size reconstruction of the art of the Parthenon on the top floor. I suggest doing your research or getting an audio guide because we did hear a lot of misinformation from fellow tourists walking about. But it was a beautiful space to visit and it makes you appreciate what you saw on the Acropolis so much more. Absolutely unmissable.
A wonderful museum with amazing exhibits. It is worth visiting before the Acropolis itself to better understand the history of this ancient city.
You can browse the exhibits at Museum of the Center for the Acropolis Studies, a museum with a storied past, during your holiday in Athens. Discover the area's top-notch restaurants and its acclaimed art galleries.
You can find out about the history of Athens with a visit to Theatre of Dionysus. Make time to visit the area's temples or simply enjoy its top-notch restaurants.

Step back in time and explore the ancient myths etched into the walls of the largest Doric temple in Greece, originally dedicated to the warrior goddess Athena.
