Una aportación muy importante para el museo fueron los frontones y el friso oeste del Partenón, las cariátides del Erecteión y el friso del templo de Atenea Niké. Al ser un museo pequeño se planteó la posibilidad de trasladar el museo fuera de la Acrópolis, para lo que se convocaron cuatro concursos, los dos primeros solo para arquitectos griegos y los otros dos internacionales. Finalmente el concurso lo ganó el suizo Bernard Tschumi. La reconstrucción fue financiada por la OANMA, la Sociedad para la Construcción del Nuevo Museo de la Acrópolis.
El edificio cuenta con nueve salas en las que están expuestas esculturas de bronce y piedra procedentes de las excavaciones próximas a la Acrópolis. Esta colección está dividida en dos épocas, una Arcaica y otra Clásica. Las piezas proceden principalmente del Partenón, el Erecteion, el Templo de Atenea Niké o el Santuario de Artemisa Brauronia entre otros.
Una de las piezas representativas de este museo es el Moscóforo, una escultura arcaica datada en el año 570 a. C. se trata de un kuros, una escultura de un hombre joven, característica del período arcaico griego. La pieza se considera que fue una ofrenda del hijo de Pales, Rhomos, a Atenea.
Otra figura del museo importante es la Kore del Peplo; la kore es la forma femenina del kuros. Data del 530 a. C, es otra de las obras maestras del período arcaico griego. Esta pieza denota una profunda influencia del estilo escultórico egipcio, por su carácter macizo y su rigidez corporal.

RECONSTRUCTION OF THE ACROPOLIS MUSEUM
The Museum of the Acropolis of Athens was constructed between 1865 and 1874, was a work of the architect Panages Kalkos. It was destined to guard the archaeological discoveries that began in 1833, and that up to his construction were stored near to the Parthenon. Later the excavations of Cavadias and Kawerau in 1866-1889 made indispensable an extension of the museum, which would be knocked down partially after the World War II. His reconstruction took place in the 50s to hands of the architect Patroklos Karantinos.
A very important contribution for the museum it were the frontons and the frieze west of the Parthenon, the caryatids of the Erecteión and the frieze of Atenea Niké's temple. To the being a small museum appeared the possibility of moving the museum out of the Acropolis, for what there were summoned four contests, both first ones only for Greek architects and other two international ones. Finally the contest it was gained by the Swiss Bernard Tschumi. The reconstruction was financed by the OANMA, the Company for the Construction of the New Museum of the Acropolis.
The building possesses nine rooms in those who are exposed sculptures of bronze and stone proceeding from the excavations next the Acropolis. This collection is divided in two epochs, The Archaic and different Classic one. The pieces come principally from the Parthenon, the Erecteion, Atenea Niké's Temple or Artemisa Brauronia's Sanctuary between others.
One of the representative pieces of this museum is the Moscóforo, an archaic sculpture dated in 570 B.C. treats itself about a kuros, a sculpture of a young man, characteristic of the archaic Greek period. It is considered the piece that it was an offering of the son of Pales, Rhomos, to Atenea.
Another figure of the important museum is the Kore del Peplo; the kore is the feminine form of the kuros. It dates back to 530 to. C, it is different of the masterpieces of the archaic Greek period. This piece denotes a deep influence of the sculptural Egyptian style, for his massive character and his corporal inflexibility.
