Was in Athens just as museum was opening. Stumbled on this outdoor film show and were mesmerized along with others who stopped in their tracks to watch. Simplistic, tastefully executed in an incomparable setting, using nearby structures as screens, bringing Acropolis antiquities to life in a subtle yet innovative way. Appropriate in tone for this outstanding museum and its collection of worldly import. Hope other museums respectfully and rightfully return Greece's borrowed treasures to Athena.
The Acropolis is pure magic! Such a shame it was tortured for centuries.....Imagine it was still in it's original form standing tall over looking the beautiful and ancient city of modern day Athens. The Greeks are so lucky to have such a gem in the heart of their city!!! I'm from London, UK...what the hell do we have??? Nothing other then the bloody river thames!!!
the magic continues.... no matter how often I visit and have to admit to having been a few times each year since its opening, the Acropolis Museum is a truly magical place. Whatever you do, if you do visit, make sure when you get back to the UK you also go and see the other half of these sculptures in the British Museum....Then lend your support to reuniting this peerless work of art ..... in Athens
! !!!! SUPER FANTASTIC!! !!Thank you very much! The optical OPTASIA of the video is SUPER FANTASTIC!! Acropolis, the sacred rock, and the kafatides but everything and imagination on the screen! All amazing!! All Greeks, FILELLINON ... always admired the craftsmanship and beauty!!!!KLEOPATRA KOURMANTZI .
thank you for this upload. thanks to athina rachel tsaggari for her wonderful and deep..reflections!!!the museum is an experience...if you donot rush, if you be silent and listen it will speak to you...in a sacred and yet most familiar silence it will be revealed to you...if you open your heart to it...it is like an initiation.... thank You All M.
gives you the goosebumps. first time greeks decided to enrich their already fantastic history with something extremely beautiful, surreal. worths any cost of construction! congratulations! greece also has some thrilling new artist blood as a country and i am so glad that this stands as an example of how visual arts can change the world and make it better. thanks for these 8 minutes of touch i got this morning :) bless x
So beautiful, i am going to Athens in 3 Day and looking forward to explore the beauty of the city, this Video is such a wonderful inspiration, thanks...
It is fantastic!Beautiful!Great!Like adream! Paradise of culture!Congratulations! GIVE THE ELGIN MARBLES TO GREECE. P.S.For everyone who likes the video with Greece, see the video with the title:''ENA PAKETO ELLADA'', it is vey good!
exceptional work, also filmed in an excellent way! wouldn't it be great to let the projections play, for the summer nights? What a beautiful city that would make..
There is another version of this work that I watched years ago. The editing was much better, natural and took its time and thus was much more moving and evocative. I wonder where it is?
Now don't get me wrong, that was incredible. But, after watching this whole thing twice in History Lessons, I still can't help thinking that a Ribbon Cutting would have been a lot cheaper. and simpler.
yes the word circus IS too strong, we have seen openigs "circus" in all over the world. they are not just lights, they are representing something...i couldn't imagine a better opening for the museum, and yes they should repeat it every once in a while...
not true. i think these visuals are the cherry on top of the cake. i understand there are people who dont like cherries but you can always eat the rest. come on its so beautiful. a circus would be low quality or average graphics. i didnt like that word no offense

I can't put in words how wonderful this video and the idea of bringing life into these remains, is...breathtaking....just breathtaking.
This video visualized a dream of me to see all these myths, that culture, these people someday alive.
Just great! Absolutely great!

Simple but so emotional.
Simply amazing. Great Athens

Thank you. I'm a fan on Facebook and I support the return of the Parthenon Marbles. 5 *****
It´s very nice. Congratulations !!!
Its looks very modern. Switzerland should be very proud of Bernard Tschumi for designing this
it;s very clever the whole concept....!i really admire it....
Bravo! Amazing presentation. Its time for the Brits to send the Elgin Marbles home.
Parthenon marbles*
Fantastique!
amazing!!!
great work!!!!
Ax! Elladara mou megalh ! Twra menei na paroume kai ta ypoloipa agalmata pou mas anoikoun kai meta......poios mas pianei !! ;-)
When the Greeks get it right they really get it right.
The Elgin Marbles must be returned to their rightful home.
Proud to be Greek!
ELGIN ???????????????
Elgin is the name of the thief.
Say it right
The Parthnenon Marbles
There is another version of this work that I watched years ago. The editing was much better, natural and took its time and thus was much more moving and evocative. I wonder where it is?
so beautiful...
Beautiful
Our civilization is shown here so the whole world can see
Britain give back what belongs to us
It makes me proud! :)
great stuff!
Σε ταξιδεύει .....
Now don't get me wrong, that was incredible.
But, after watching this whole thing twice in History Lessons, I still can't help thinking that a Ribbon Cutting would have been a lot cheaper. and simpler.
amazing!!!!!
hellas a land of light a land of glory!!!!
you have a classical ancient building with columns standing across the museum for centuries. why the museum should look ancient too?
I love Ellada!
wonderous
Who is this music author?
1.000.000 visitors in a 4 months!!!!!!
HOW MUCH IS GREECE?
@Fedralicious1 Yes Totally with you on that
SHOW TIME??
@akarlet .... Or "Parthenon Sculptures" if you prefer. :)
Μετά από αυτό τελείωσε η Ελλάδα νοσταλγία
These are Parthenon Marbles stolen by Elgin during the Ottoman Occupation of Greece, not Elgin Marbles...
συγκινηθηκα, :/
yes the word circus IS too strong, we have seen openigs "circus" in all over the world. they are not just lights, they are representing something...i couldn't imagine a better opening for the museum, and yes they should repeat it every once in a while...
Μπράβο...5*****!!!
we demand our civilazation..our identity..our marbles must be returned
Poli orea!
δια τί δεν μπωρω να βλεπω καλά;
wow
@akarlet There is no such thing as "Elgin Marbles" There are only the PARTHENON MARBELS!
not true. i think these visuals are the cherry on top of the cake. i understand there are people who dont like cherries but you can always eat the rest. come on its so beautiful. a circus would be low quality or average graphics. i didnt like that word no offense
and the Greeks thank you Ronaldo
