Culture Minister Mihalis Liapis toured the new Acropolis Museum on
Sunday, on the occasion of the International Museum Day, where he
expressed a hope that archaeological sites and museums will become
part of citizens' everyday routine.
According to figures released on Sunday, 4,000 people visited the
museum and more than 5,500 entered the Acropolis-related
archaeological sites.
Liapis also announced that the ministry will begin a pilot programme
to combine cultural heritage with the modern trends.
"Our goal is to give a new lease of life to the sites and to breed
new cultural cells," he said.
Visitors toured the almost completed New Acropolis Museum's
courtyard on Sunday, which opened to the public.
