Conditions in the Acropolis Museum  

The Acropolis Museum will offer the ultimate conceptual and physical conditions for the keeping and display of the Parthenon sculptures. Culturally, the sculptures will be united in a single set, completing the picture that is currently fragmented amongst several museums in the world. Reuniting the sculptures in one exhibition hall will promote cultural integrity and relieve the sculptures from the international arguments that have been shadowing them for decades.

Physically, the Acropolis Museum will offer the best environment for the preservation of the Parthenon sculptures. In addition to climatic control that optimises temperature and humidity levels for the keeping of such antiquities, specific measures ensure the protection of the sculptures from excess heat and light, whilst not compromising natural lighting for their optimal visual exposure to visitors.
