New Acropolis Museum

The results of the second competition to design the New Acropolis Museum have been announced by the Greek government. The competition was won by Bernard Tschumi, a Swiss-born architect now based in New York. His design includes a glass structure which will one day house the Parthenon Marbles when the British government is finally persuaded to return those in its possession to Greece.

The winning design was chosen from a shortlist of 12.

E-architect of New Acropolis Museum

The new Acropolis Museum represents a notably fine and acclaimed design, destined to become world-famous on its completion in 2004. Furthermore, construction is being accompanied by an equally rare degree of sensitivity and respect for the ancient structures brought to light in the preparation of the site.
