Acropolis Museum

Today, we visited the New Acropolis Museum. It's a fascinating view, but it's only downfall is the fact that pictures are not allowed. That's extremely disappointing, because the 1st and 2nd floors house many of the Archaic and Classical sculptures from the various temples on the Acropolis. The original Caryatids, the maidens used as columns for the Erechtheion, are placed on the 2nd floor. The top floor displays all the friezes and metopes in the manner they would have been oriented on the Parthenon. In place of some of the originals, which are housed in either the British or Louve museums, there are casts. The Greek government is trying to recover these, but the British and French are being stubborn. Afterwards, I came back and rested. I'm still feeling under the weather. Hopefully, it's just a 24-hour thing.
