Acropolis Museum in Athens, Greece, is built over the remains of an ancient Athenian neighbourhood dating back to 4000 years old.

The remains of this neighbourhood, uncovered during the excavations to lay the foundation for the Acropolis Museum, show a place that has been teeming with life for centuries. Archaeologists, as they peeled back the earth, exposed a honeycomb of walls, streets, alleys, houses, baths and workshops, some as far down as five meters or more below present ground level.
