Epigraphical Museum
-
Housed here is one of the world’s most precious collections of ancient inscriptions, including the official records of early Athens, carved on stone and marble slabs. It’s a fascinating trove of Athenean lore, and the most important exhibits include: a decree by the assembly of Athens ordering the evacuation of the city before the Persian invasion in 480 BC; a sacred law concerning temple-worship on the Acropolis; and a stele carved with accounts of the construction of the Erechtheion at the Acropolis some 2,400 years ago.
