The individual contributors to these papers tell the story of the
dedicated and detailed efforts to understand the work of previous
generations on the Acropolis and then to restore the buildings as nearly
as possible to their original architectural state. The result is a story
of engagement with the extraordinary problems associated with these
world heritage monuments and the challenges to preserve and present them
for future generations. This book represents a milestone in the history
of the collaboration and friendship between the Acropolis Restoration
Service and the British Museum.
