Acropolis Museum in Athens.

These works are from the Acropolis Museum in Athens and also the Acropolis. It shows the birth of Athena, with a victory "angel"  putting a crown above her head. Zeus is facing her, and all around are the astonished greek gods (Poseïdon, Hera, etc.).
The same from  a more frontal point of view.
The acropolis from the new museum.
A very small piece of the surrounding sculptures of the original Parthenon. Phidias is the famous sculptor of these wonderful scenes.
Bringing water for washing after the sacrifice of the bulls.
The original Cariatids in the Acropolis museum (but one in London). Admire the hair style.
Admire the drapery.
Different hair styles.
Replacing the shoe in the good place. Amazing drapery and natural gesture.
Arches, pines around.
A lonesome temple.
Athena temple.
Dereliction.
Spirals.
The new museum from the acropolis.
I liked the sunlight and shadows on the relief.
