A picture is worth a thousand words! Writers of antiquity have talked about the Parthenon and the Acropolis of Athens, but only you can discover it today by visiting it! Although seeing the Acropolis in its original condition is impossible, the Museum of Reconstructions (California) represents parts of the Athenian Acropolis in their earlier splendour, in a virtual form.
