		<description>This building is example of how not to build museums... One visit of it will influence you more than whole semester of exhibition lectures. The building itself is monument which Tschumi has built to himself. Whole one floor is dedicated to restaurant and souvenir shop – it’s pure commerce. I even expected to find board offering meals in front of the entrance (happily there was none).

Proportions of the building are definitely not ancient Greek ones. The massive columns are of Egyptian proportions to the building. The construction principles don’t respect ancient Greek tradition at all. Boutique-like plasterboard ceiling with boutique-like lightning in building that tries to look monumentally? But only tries, because it’s broken into pieces by terrible details.

Each and every one exhibit is presented completely wrong. The enormous walls of stainless steel with quite good natural lightning should be background to the white statues. Instead of it there are small niches with the smallest exhibits in the walls. The statues are presented in “gallery” where all the attention is paid to enormous columns. The statues are situated higgledy-piggledy around them. And what’s more, the “gallery” is completely overlighted up by the sun through white glass wall. In such conditions, the statues suffers – no one can enjoy them, they are situated so wrong, that everybody rushes into them and there are no barriers, so everyone can touch them when the guardians cannot see him.

And where is the Parthenon? They claim that the museum is modern reconstruction of the Parthenon. Yes I know, they mean the core of the building. But the proportions of it, and it’s different on every floor. The top of the building, the most important part of it, is also the most terrible part of it. The tympanum on the floor instead of on the top and the acroteria mediana in the corner of the room... They have money to squander at the columns and the glass floor and stainless steel, but not enough of money to make the building little higher for the tympanum and the acroteria.
PS: The only exhibit which is presented correctly and perfectly is none of the ancient exhibits, it’s wash-basin in the toilets. White wash-basin, black background and perfect lightning...</description>

		<description>Scale, scale, scale! - Bigness cannot be rendered inconspicuous simply by means of bareness.  Big CAN be beautifully subtle (Ashplund, Saarinen, Pleznic, Aalto, Van der Rohe, et al.) but this requires a level of craft and inspiration unfortunately not displayed here...</description>
