Between 1999 and 2003, the museum underwent yet another phase of renovations, carried out by the Greek architect Alexandros Tombazis.
These included the construction of a new facade in a contemporary style and a new hall for the charioteer.
The rest of the museum was re-designed in a modern style and adjusted to facilitate the circulation of visitors.
A new lobby, a large cafeteria and a gift shop were also created.
The collection was rearranged in order to reconcile the need to display the main attractions of the museum effectively and the wish to present the latest theories and discoveries of archaeological and historical scholarships.
An effort was also made to illustrate hitherto neglected exhibits like the classical facade of the Temple of Apollo.
The museum opened its doors once more for its centenary.
