In turn, Panagiotopoulos defined the return of the artefacts as "a victory of law and loss of the illicit trade in antiquities and expressed gratitude to the authorities of Baden-Württemberg. He recalled that the opening hours of the Greek museums in the summer period is from 08:00 am to 08:00 pm and said they are ready to receive visitors from all over the world.
The most famous among them, the Acropolis Museum, will celebrate its five-year anniversary on 20 June, when it will start implementing the digital restoration programme of the Parthenon sculptures. Three-dimensional digital photographs of the sculptures of equestrians from the western part of the frieze will be presented the same day, and copper weapons and reins with alternating lights and test colouring will be added to them as well.
