To beat the congestion from the steamy city heat in Athens, Mr. MuseumChick and I decided to take the bus up to the holiest site in ancient Greece- Delphi. I was looking to explore a little bit of the Greek countryside and to have my future predicted by the Delphic Oracle in the Temple of Zeus and Mr. M was looking for tasty, authentic moussaka.

My Oracle Prediction- You Will Love Delphi Greece

The New Acropolis Museum in Athens
So here's the scoop on the brand spanking new Acropolis Museum in Athens, Greece; it's well designed, kept beautifully clean, and makes the relatively small collection of ancient Greek artifacts that the Greeks possess (given that most of the best ancient Greek artifacts have been scattered around the world at this point) look bigger and more extensive than it actually is but there are no pictures allowed in the museum (a rule I hate). So, I'll show you as much as I could get on my recent visit this August, while still respecting the museum's policies.
Visit the New Acropolis Museum with me!
