The central concern of the Acropolis Museum is the conservation and restoration of the works of its collections by ensuring appropriate environmental conditions and their presentation to the public in a modern way. To this end, it encourages research, takes measures to promote scientific knowledge and introduces innovative ways of presenting the exhibits, the Acropolis Museum said in its newsletter.
“Aiming to include visitors to the above exciting process, the Acropolis Museum participates this year in the celebration of the European Conservation Days 2024 with the action ‘From the soil to the Museum’, on October 17, 18 and 20. It is a journey to the complex world of antiquities conservation brought to light by the excavation that spreads under the Acropolis Museum. The Museum’s conservators will share with visitors the methods and practices they followed in preserving the life of both the buildings of the ancient neighborhood and the objects that were found there, from the time they came out of the soil to their display in the Excavation Museum,” added the Acropolis Museum.
