Architecture and inscriptions

The fluted shafts, Doric echinus and abacus, Ionic volutes, and Corinthian acanthus capitals are newly modelled interpretations based on the Acropolis Restoration Service’s guide to Greek columns. They are not scans or archaeological reconstructions of a specific temple. Wall letters form a modern display of the 24-letter Greek alphabet, not a transcription of an ancient inscription.

Mineral and steel

One contemporary virtual study relocated from the Golden Hall. An original composition, not an ancient Greek artefact.
