Pavlos and Alexandra Canellopoulos Museum was established in 19776 following the donation to the Greek state of the collection of this name. It was originally housed in the listed neoclassical mansion of the Michaleas family in Plaka. It reopened in 2010 with the addition of the a new wing built with a donation of the late Alexandra Κanellopoulou. The Museum contains objects dating from the Prehistoric to the Modern era, highlighting the diachronic continuity of Greek art.
Basement, gallery 2. The thematically-arranged exhibits in this gallery complete the collection of Prehistoric and Classical antiquities. They include sections, on bronze weapons and helmets, bronze figurines, coins, weight measures, and minor objects from daily life, as well as an impressive group of largely funerary jewelry dating to various periods made of gold, silver, bronze, and semiprecious stones. Most of the marble objects in the Museum are also displayed here. These date from the Archaic to the late Roman period. Marble displays include statuettes, funerary reliefs, and Roman portraits. A funerary lion, a group of Eros and Psyche, a decorated Roman cinerary and the portrait of the emperor Trajan may be singled out.
The North slope of Acropolis.. (extract from the brief history of the slopes of Acropolis)
.."The Gate of the Lion (39) formed the main approach to the Acropolis during the Turkish domination. Today it is the main entrance of the archaeological site of the north slope. It is located opposite the Kanellopoulos Museum at the juncture of Theoria and Panos streets, on the course of an important main Road that linked the commercial and the economic centre of the Medieval city, the Staropazaro (modern Monastiraki) with the Acropolis Fortress"..
