Went there at 08:20 in the morning and there were about 20 more visiters on sight...had the place to myself. It was great. At about 09:40 the place was full.

Hi, actually i was going to reach out to you when I got home. When we got to the museum, which was absolutely amazing. We realized the audio guide was free, but we actually paid more for it. Also, there was not a long lineup so skip the line didn't really make a difference.Robert

It's always nice to skip a line. And that's just what these tickets allow you to do. There is still a line that you have to wait in with all the other people who are skipping the line. Admittedly, the skip the line line is shorter. The audio tour that was included required you to download and app and the audio content. The audio tour or good, it hit a lot of the highlights and the directions from location to location were pertty good. We would recommend this option if you cannot get a live tour guide for whatever reason (we were purchasing the tour last minute, and no live guided tours were avaiable)
Unveiling ancient treasures and a living archaeological site
Opened in 2007, the Athens Acropolis Museum has one of the largest collections of fascinating Greek artifacts and sculptures that were housed in the Parthenon. The primary highlight is the cavernous excavation site below the museum. Believed to be an active neighborhood consisting of sea streets, houses, and shops from around 3000 BC to the 12th century A.D., the site is a highly unique exhibit.
A journey through four captivating galleries
There are four main galleries in the museum, and you have access to all of them! The Gallery of the Slopes of the Acropolis contains objects of everyday life used over the centuries. The Archaic Gallery houses some of the oldest findings dating back to the 7th century B.C. The Parthenon Gallery features a video presentation of the Parthenon and how it was designed and built. The final gallery contains a wide variety of fabulous artifacts including the coffered ceiling of the Propylaea and sculptures from the Temple of Athena Nike. You can also spot a range of amazing portraits depicting philosophers and historical figures. If you so choose, you can learn more about these wonderful artefacts and the museum with the help of an engaging audio guide.
