The amazing display of work and how they were able to piece together some of the damaged pieces so you could see a completed work. The space was also incredible. Enjoyed every minute.

The atmosphere and the stayed exposed are beautiful and the view from outside is fantastic to see the operas and the Parthenon together

an audioguide that can be downloaded and listened to on the phone is useless when there are groups of totally unruly pupils who can't listen to the explanations properly It's a pity, because the museum is well designed, but reading it all becomes tedious.

Ticket purchase was great, very easy, but I had issues with my phone (dropped it and quit working) so getting the actual tickets at the venue was a hassle

Love the museum. I was in awe! Crüe design of the museum itself is a master piece that ties ancient history with modern design in a harmonic way. Audio guide is also great. A great place to explore and to learn
