TIPS

Some recommended tips from the museum are:

• If you are able to, it might be sensible to avoid visiting the museum between 10:00 a.m. and    2:00 p.m. (because that’s when the museum tends to get flooded with cruise ship passengers and school groups)
•  Always begin your tour of the 1st floor at the northeast corner, for the best element of continuity.
• The museum’s restaurant stays open until until midnight every Friday. Enjoy a special menu with a beautiful night view of the Acropolis.
• Remember to look down, or else you'll miss the underground excavation!
• It may be helpful (and interesting) to follow a gallery talk by a museum archaeologist and host.  
• Visit the museum before you head for the Parthenon temple
