Image from the New Acropolis Museum
If, like mine, your invitation to the opening of the New Acropolis Museum tomorrow in Athens somehow got lost in the mail, you can view it live tomorrow, Saturday, on the museum’s website, here. In the meantime, here’s a view of the installation of the Parthenon marbles.
There’s just one problem, though: The museum’s website, only partly functional at this writing, does not tell us what time the much awaited opening will take place. So I can’t tell you exactly when you should attend online.
If I get more information, I’ll update here.
Meanwhile, do pay a visit to my blogging buddy, Cambridge classics professor Mary Beard of A Don’s Life, who got an advance look at the museum yesterday.
As for me, I’m flying south instead of east today, to give a talk, rather than to gawk, on Saturday. More on that later.
