You're standing at the Acropolis Museum, at the foot of the Acropolis in Athens. It was designed by the New York architect Bernard Tschumi together with the Greek architect Michael Photiadis, and it opened on 20 June 2009. Look at the top floor. It sits slightly askew on the rest of the building. That's deliberate: it lines up exactly with the Parthenon up on the rock.
