Stavros Melissinos used to visit the Old Acropolis Museum As well as the National Archaeological Museum of Athens, where he would get his inspiration for his sandal designs. Today you can also visit the New Acropolis Museum and of course the Parthenon.
The Old Acropolis Museum, was located on the archeological site of the Acropolis and was built in a niche, at the eastern edge of the rock, beneath the level of the hilltop, which made it almost invisible. The old museum now is closed and its antiquities have been moved to their new home, the new “Acropolis Museum”.
