National Archaeological Museum
We open up the Museum, integrate it with the park and connect it to the surrounding neighborhood. Like urban acupuncture we improve the circulation in and around the Museum by creating new access points, opening arteries, animating many types of experiences and enhancing the ongoing regeneration of the Exarchia neighborhood. The Museum and the City become one. The extended and revitalized National Archaeological Museum will become an urban magnet and a place for ALL – museum visitors, tourists, scholars and the citizens of Athens at large. We introduce the STOA as a new axis through the garden and the existing building where visitors and passers-by can wander without a ticket, experiencing the GARDEN, historic courtyards and the exhibition spaces with glances down into the AGORA. The Exarchia neighborhood, a developing part of Athens, will be connected to Patission Street, the city’s main cultural axis and a significant ceremonial route of the Capital. The AGORA is an extension of the exhibition spaces that will offer a wide range of new curatorial opportunities. This large new hall has an architectural narrative analogous to spaces of archaeology, geology and nature.
