Acropolis of Athens 3-D digital reconstructions and representations

Get a taste of what Pericles could see 2,500 years ago

If a picture is worth a thousand words, it is no wonder that writers of antiquity have praised the Parthenon and the Acropolis of Athens so passionately. Although seeing the Acropolis in its original condition is impossible, the Museum of Reconstructions (California) now allows us to admire parts of the Athenian Acropolis complex in a virtual form.
