Chart 6.1 Annual numbers of museum visitors, 2008–2015. Data adapted from: ARF 2016, personal communication; ELSTAT, Greece in Figures 2016, (http://www.statistics.gr/documents/20181/1515741/GreeceInFigures_2016Q2_GR.pdf/b5554738-1829-4d4e-8b75-53b631b016fc)

In reality, this picture is misleading, as it incorporates a factor that significantly affects the data: namely, the opening in 2009 and subsequent operation of the new Acropolis Museum. Thus, the growth observed between 2008 and 2010 is due to the masses of visitors attracted to the Acropolis Museum during the first year of its operation. If studied separately, the number of visitors to all other archaeological museums during the same period dropped by 5 per cent a year (Chart 6.2). A similar rise (5 per cent/year) is seen until 2013, when numbers started rising significantly (21 per cent/year). On the other hand, in the Acropolis Museum, after peaking at just under 1.4 million tickets in 2010, visits declined by 12 per cent a year until 2012, growing thereafter by 7 per cent a year.
