[编辑] 早期
在1987年該地舉辦一場博覽會,為了讓納塞維亞配上南方雅典這個稱號,產生了興建這建築物的號召。當時,為了博覽會,建了一系列仿古的建築物。然而其中只有這座帕提農神廟是講求正確復原的再製品,也是唯一保留至今的。
當初原始的建材是:石膏、木頭、磚頭,之後於1920年代 在相同的基礎上以混凝土重建。

今日,帕提農神廟被當作一間藝術博物館,為納塞維亞城郊外的Centennial Park這個大公園的的核心建築。
[编辑] 復原的雅典娜巨像
彫刻家Alan LeQuire在1990年,重製了雅典娜神像(帕提農)(希臘帕提農神廟原來的雅典娜神像早已毀於數百年前的入侵者)是該館近年來為人矚目的焦點。這個巨大建物,是雅典原物的全尺寸再製品,這個雅典娜的雕像,立基於對古代消失的原始神像的細心學術考證研究:雅典娜身穿胸甲、頭戴頭盔、左手提一盾、右手捧勝利女神的雕像、有42呎高、全身鍍了總重約八磅的金箔、在身體與盾間還有一隻大蛇。這座建物完成後,為了儘可能逼近原物,還作了彩漆。不過這推測古雅典人可能看到的神廟復原品比起Acropolis原址殘破的帕提農神廟是不是較好的呈現方式?目前還是未定論的。
This replica of the original Parthenon in Athens serves as a monument to what is considered the pinnacle of classical architecture. The plaster replicas of the Parthenon Marbles found in the Naos (the east room of the main hall) are direct casts of the original sculptures which adorned the pediments of the Athenian Parthenon, dating back to 438 BCE. The originals of these fragments are housed in the British Museum in London.
As an art museum, the Parthenon's permanent collection is a group of 63 paintings by 19th and 20th century American artists donated by James M. Cowan. Additional gallery spaces provide a venue for a variety of temporary shows and exhibits.
In the summertime, local theatre productions use the building as a backdrop for classic Greek plays such as Euripides' Medea and Sophocles' Antigone, performing (usually for free) on the steps of the Parthenon. Other performances, such as Mary Zimmerman's Metamorphoses, have been done inside, at the foot of Athena's statue.
