And we feel that that division is actually very beneficial to the world's public. They can get these two different but complimentary stories about these wonderful objects.\"\u003cbr/\u003e23. Pan from Elgin Marbles to museum visitors\u003cbr/\u003eAfter years of delay, the new Acropolis museum is slated to open its doors this weekend, giving Greeks new ammunition for their bid to have the Elgin - or Parthenon - Marbles returned to their homeland.\u003cbr/\u003eThe 180 (m) million US dollar museum will be officially inaugurated on Saturday. \u003cbr/\u003eOfficials say the glass and concrete museum, about 400 metres from the Acropolis, will boost Greece's old but fruitless bid for the return of the 2,500-year-old sculptures, displayed in the British Museum for nearly two centuries since their removal from the site.\u003cbr/\u003eAthens says the sculptures were stolen from a work of art so important that its surviving pieces should all be exhibited together.\u003cbr/\u003eCulture Minister Antonis Samaras said the new museum would turn public opinion in favour of the Greek campaign.\u003cbr/\u003eSpreading across five levels, the museum provides an airy setting for some of the best surviving works of classical sculpture that once adorned the marble Acropolis temples. \u003cbr/\u003eThe basement contains remains of an ancient Athenian neighbourhood, which will open to visitors next year.\u003cbr/\u003eBy day, printed glass panels filter the bright sunlight while revealing the ancient citadel in the background. \u003cbr/\u003eThe internal lighting projects the statues outward at night, contrasting with the floodlit hilltop temples.\u003cbr/\u003eUS-based architect Bernard Tschumi said the proximity of the Acropolis itself was a major challenge in designing the building.\u003cbr/\u003eBut he stressed that the design of the museum's top floor was intentional to show the Parthenon frieze as the narrative, as it was originally designed to be seen, in its entirety, which would include those pieces currently housed in the British Museum.\u003cbr/\u003eBut the British Museum counters that it legally owns its collection, and displays it free of charge in an international cultural context.\u003cbr/\u003eThe Parthenon was built between 447-432 B.C., at the height of ancient Athens' glory, in honour of the city's patron goddess, Athena.\u003cbr/\u003eDespite its conversion into a Christian church, and Turkish occupation from the 15th century, it survived virtually intact until a massive explosion caused by a Venetian cannon shot in 1687.\u003cbr/\u003eAbout half the surviving sculptures were removed by Scottish diplomat Lord Elgin in the early 1800s, while Greece was still an unwilling part of the Ottoman Empire.\u003cbr/\u003eMost belong to a frieze depicting a religious procession that ran round the top of the temple.\u003cbr/\u003eThe new museum holds more than 4,000 ancient works in 150,000 square feet (14,000 square meters) of display space.\u003cbr/\u003eThe highlight is the top floor where Greece's Parthenon sculptures will be displayed in their original alignment in a glass hall, next to plaster casts of the works in London.\u003cbr/\u003e\u003c/span\u003e\n\u003c/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class='action-container flex justify-between'\u003e\n\u003cbutton aria-expanded='false'
