June 20, 2009 seems like a good starting point to be searching for the "ground zero" of the tourism boom in the central Athens neighborhood of Koukaki. But is it the only one?

The everyday life of the inhabitants of the southern cliff of the Acropolis Rock is presented in "the museum under the museum," the new space of the Acropolis Museum that opened to the public on Wednesday.

An exhibition of more than 1,100 artefacts, from statues and table games to children's toys, found in an ancient Athens neighborhood during excavations in the area of its modern Acropolis Museum has opened to the public.

A new significant museum space, a brand-new museum located beneath the Acropolis Museum, opens its doors to the public today, both Greek and international.

The Acropolis Museum will open a new exhibition area to house the findings of the excavations carried out on its foundations while the price of the ticket will rise to 20 euros, its Director, Nikos Stampolidis, said on Wednesday.

For many years, French-Swiss architect Bernard Tschumi was an almost unwanted person in Greece, at least for those who knew his name and associated him with the first and most emblematic public building constructed in Athens in the 21st century.

Fifteen years after its controversial debut at the foot of the Acropolis, the Acropolis Museum, a 226,000-square foot structure of glass and concrete designed by Swiss-American architect Bernard Tschumi, has seen the debate over its design quiet down to near-universal acceptance.

Deputy Foreign Affairs Minister Giorgos Kotsiras spoke about improving Greece's image abroad and the ministry's actions to highlight opportunities in Greece to the youth of the diaspora, at the conference "Demographics 2024 - National Priority" on Thursday.

The Acropolis Museum will be marking International Museum Day on Saturday, May 18, with free admission and special events.

It will also stay open longer, from 9 a.m. to 8 p.m., while the restaurant will be serving until midnight.
