The Old Acropolis Museum was an archaeological museum located on the
archeological site of the Acropolis. It was lovated in a niche at the
eastern edge of the rock and most of it lay beneath the level of the
hilltop, making it largely invisible. It was considered one of the
major archaeological museums in Athens. Due to its limited size, the
Greek Government decided in the late 1980s to build a new museum. The
New Acropolis Museum is now built at the foot of the Acropolis. In
June 2007 the old museum closed its doors so that its antiquities
could be moved to their new home, which opened on 20 June
2009.

The Nicholas P. Goulandris Foundation-Museum of Cycladic Art is one of the most beautiful museums of Athens. It houses a magnificent collection of artifacts of Cycladic art.
The museum was founded in 1986 in order to house the collection of
Cycladic and Ancient Greek art belonging to Nicholas and Dolly
Goulandris. Starting in the early 1960s, the couple collected Greek
antiquities, with special interest in the prehistoric art from the
Cyclades islands of the Aegean Sea. The Museum's main building,
erected in the centre of Athens in 1985, was designed by the Greek
architect Ioannis Vikelas. In 1991, the Museum acquired a new wing,
the neo-classical Stathatos Mansion.
