This visual essay looks at the Parthenon as a global structure, which is to say, a structure that has global significance and which can only be understood by visiting sites and museums scattered around the world. The essay ranges back and forth between sites and museums. It also moves backward in time to examine what travelers like Herodotus, Pausanias, and Evliya Celebi have written about the Parthenon. The essay ends with a look at how the presence of the Parthenon marbles in London has over time shaped the look and feel of London itself.
