From the Museum Collections
General supervision - Coordination: Stamatia Eleftheratou
The most significant exhibits of the Acropolis Museum are brought together in an inventive interactive application found on its ground. Through an enjoyable touch “game” on a selection of sixty works of art on display, the visitors are invited to become acquainted with the Museum collections, before they enter the exhibition galleries.
Sixty important works of the Acropolis Museum welcome visitors to the Acropolis Museum. The facility is located on the ground floor of the Museum, in the waiting and ticketing area. Four touch screens arranged vertically present the content. The application is installed on an Android device that manages visitor interaction with the 4 screens. This project is one of the most important digital exhibits of the Museum. The project allows for parallel review of the material by different people. The content is organized in a 12X5 canvas to show all the exhibits included in the database.

Secrets hidden in the soil
General supervision - Coordination: Stamatia Eleftheratou
Do you like action? There is one neighbourhood in Ancient Athens that awaits for you to uncover it. And it is a real one! It lies beneath the Acropolis Museum and hides many secrets. Play and discover ancient treasures, clean and put together their broken pieces and organize their exhibition the way you choose. Take the excavation in your hands and be ready for countless surprises as you experience a fascinating adventure!
This project is an interactive game for children and teenagers. The data is based on the archaeological resources and the findings of the excavation carried out during the construction phase of the Acropolis Museum on its foundations. The space of the digital excavation is identified with the underground space of the Museum which is visible when entering the courtyard of the Museum. The application was divided into three sections: Excavation, Maintenance, Scientific Curation. For each of the above sections, graphics related to each section were implemented. The intention of the Directorate of the Museum was to provide a comprehensive approach to the concept of excavation, which includes all the individual procedures required for the exhibition of a find, as well as the specialized human resources that participate in each phase.
Inscriptions from the Erechtheion
General supervision - Coordination: Dimitris Pantermalis
Was public money embezzled in ancient Athens? How was transparency secured during big public constructions? Let’s “read” two building inscriptions from the Erechtheion both housed in the Acropolis Museum. We will discover captivating details about building works and artistic production, workers and their payment, the latter’s various specializations, the materials used, as well as the way that city money was managed by democratic Athens in the 5th c. BC. The application is installed in the Museum’s first floor.
In the Classical Period a large number of inscriptions were used as detailed manuals recording artistic and building works. The application “Inscriptions from the Erechtheion” concerns the analysis of the content of the double-sided inscription. Inscribed on the inscription are artistic and architectural information that would be implemented during the construction phase of the Erechtheion, determination of qualitative and quantitative characteristics of building materials, analysis of construction costs and materials. The inscription also lists the human resources that would take part in the construction and craftsmanship of the Erechtheion, as well as all the specialties that would be used for its implementation.
Discovering the Acropolis inscriptions
General supervision - Coordination: Dimitris Pantermalis
How did ancient Athenians carve letters and numbers in stone? How did they correct any mistakes? And most importantly, what was the use of an inscription? Join us on the Museum’s first floor to discover the charming nature of inscriptions from the Acropolis, unveil the secrets hidden in twenty of them, and look into the domestic and external policy of the Athenian Democracy during the 5th and 4th cents. BC. We can explore inscriptions with the help of the RTI program which enables multiple changes in light and thus captures the inscribed letters and details of figures in relief.
