How Greece Built a $175M Museum on Stilts Above an Ancient City for Marbles It Doesn't Have

Engineers set the Acropolis Museum on 94 sliding bearings above a buried Athenian neighborhood, 300 meters from the Parthenon. Greece needed 33 years to build it. Then three cranes carried 4,500 antiquities down from the Acropolis. Nearly half the Parthenon frieze is still in London. #construction #documentary #architecture #engineering #earthquake #acropolis #greece #archaeology DISCLAIMER _______________ This is not engineering advice.
