The first part features key sculptural representations from the Metopes and Pediments of the Parthenon, mainly the "exiled" ones (British Museum, Louvre, Copenhagen) as well as design representations of the temple and the monuments.
The second part presents very rare engravings, drawings, prints, and paintings of the monuments by European and American travelers (J.P. Babin – G. Taylor – W. Finden – A. Tardieu – J. Stuart-N. Revett – A. Paccard – J. Skene – C. Hansen – L.S. Fauvel – E. Dodwell – W.H. Barlett – J. Cousen – C. Henry) created from 1674 to the 20th century. Many of the illustrations are found in various museums and private collections and are depicted for the first time in a widely circulated publication.
In the third part, the monuments are showcased through the photographic lens with unique captures from the mid-19th to the mid-20th century.
