A new ultra-modern Acropolis museum located below the ancient Athens landmark is opening this year. Located on the Acropolis itself, the old museum has been closed to the public since October to allow for the transfer of iconic statues and other pieces to the new site, a process that experts say has been delicate and complex. The new three-level museum, at 25,000 square metres, includes a room on the top floor with an area reserved for the Elgin, or Parthenon Marbles, which are currently located at the British Museum in London.
