Because the museum is so new, information about it is hard to come by. There are a few websites you can visit to become more familiar with the layout and design of the new museum:

Fortunately, because these artifacts are ancient and have been on display in the old museum, almost any guide to Greece or Athens will have a little information on the statues and temples found on the Acropolis. Sadly, that’s all you’ll get most of the time—a “little.” One of my favorite guides to Athens (The Blue Guide) devotes less than one page to the entire collection. So here are a few “educational” links to help you familiarize yourself with the Acropolis Collection:
