The new Acropolis Museum, designed by Italian architects Manfredi Nicoletti and Lucio Passarelli, creates excitement to visit the acropolis above. I love how in places like Athens and Rome, if you want to build a building on schedule don't dig into the ground at all because you are sure to find ancient ruins that will undoubtedly change the build schedule, and in the case of the New Museum change the entire buildings design. It's wonderful! You enter the building on a glass floor which looks down into an active archeological site! Talk about setting the mood for visitor interest.
After the museum I walked around all afternoon to the surrounding sites with a woman I met named Mei Wan from Singapore! We had a lot to talk about.
Here she is.
