The Acropolis Museum Autumn Exhibition

The Acropolis Museum Autumn Exhibition is the museum's seasonal loan show in Athens. The 2026 edition brings more than one hundred pre-Christian artefacts from the History Museum of Armenia — the first exhibition under the memorandum of cooperation signed by the two museums in February 2026.

The Acropolis Museum Autumn Exhibition is the Acropolis Museum’s seasonal loan show, held in Athens. The 2026 edition presents more than one hundred artefacts from the History Museum of Armenia, drawn from the pre-Christian era — the first major undertaking of a memorandum of cooperation signed at the museum on 19 February 2026, during the state visit of the President of Armenia to Greece, by David Poghosyan, Director of the History Museum of Armenia, and Nikolaos Stampolidis, Director General of the Acropolis Museum.

The museum stands at Dionysiou Areopagitou 15, over an excavated ancient neighbourhood at the foot of the Acropolis. Its third-floor Parthenon Gallery is designed around the sculptures of the temple itself, and more than one million visitors pass through the museum each year. The Armenian loan follows the museum’s recent loan seasons: the treasures of ancient Basilicata held the temporary exhibition gallery from 18 October 2024 to 26 January 2025, and the summer of 2026 belongs to Inspirations, a survey of ancient Greek art in Italy, through 30 August.

The museum has not yet published the exact dates. The season is set for autumn 2026, and the museum’s recent loan exhibitions have customarily run through the winter months.
