The museum exhibits a lot of the figures that were found in the Acropolis. I was a bit surprised how accessible these antiquities were. In comparison to other museums, there were only very few that were protected or guarded with a rope. The Caryathids were protected behind glass in a controlled temperature environment. You could not take flash photography (which is typical), but you also couldn't take pictures with you in it? Below are some of my favorites.

The calf bearer.

 

The lion.

The horse.

The three graces.
