The Acropolis is still sweeping international awards and we are proud!
The Acropolis of Athens, a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1987, came in second place for its architectural and historical significance and for its outstanding universal value on CNN’s list of 20 of the world’s most beautiful World Heritage Sites.
The new addition to the Athenian landmark, the Acropolis Museum, ranked 3rd on a list of the best 50 museums in the world after the Smisthsonian Museum in Washington and the British Museum in London.
In a London Sunday Times article, a true eulogy to the new Acropolis Museum, The World’s 50 Best Museums, the author notes:
“Hundreds of thousands of visitors now turn up annually to see the cultural wonders of a glorious past, which stand amid floods of natural light with amazing views of the original temple as an evocative backdrop.”
