ATHENS: MODERNIZING HISTORY

<p><em>Capital city of Greece, Athens, a place dominated with its 5th century BC landmarks is a heady mix of modern and historical times. Wandering beauties like monuments, stadiums, temples, Greek coffee and the post-Olympic feels of Athens makes you wanna drag your soul all the way there.</em></p> <p><img alt="" src="https://miro.medium.com/v2/resize:fit:700/1*U2XErqPac8LR4vnc5DXtuw.jpeg" style="height:396px; width:700px" /></p> <ol> <li><strong>Acropolis Museum</strong><br /> Built on the concepts: light, movement and tectonic and programmatic element. Lying at the foot of the Acropolis&rsquo; southern slope, this architectural beasty is something you can&rsquo;t overlook. The museum composes with it&rsquo;s crowning glory, the top-floor Parthenon Gallery, bathed in natural light lies the Archaic Gallery and then you have the Plexiglas floor. If that wasn&rsquo;t enough you can munch some popcorn and gain knowledge on the history of the Acropolis​ while watching a movie they showcase in the museum.</li> </ol> <p><a href="https://medium.com/@keertibarua/athens-modernizing-history-e6188760a1a0"><strong>Website</strong></a></p>
