This paper explores the conflicting discourses that have been raised in regards to the construction of the New Acropolis Museum (NMA) in Athens. The argument, on which the analysis is based, is that the NMA constitutes a ‘conflicting terrain’ because the meanings, values and uses, which have been attached to the Acropolis Hill and its monuments throughout the history, conflict with each other. Moreover, the paper aims to illustrate that, despite the changeability of values attached to heritage, there are stable values, unchangeable throughout the time. This paper examines the diversity of uses and meanings that the Acropolis Hill and its monuments have acquired since 1834, when the Greek state gained its independence. The analysis follows a multileveled examination of the arisen disputes, exploring the ways in which the supporters and the opponents of the NMA legitimize their position on local, national, and international level. Résumé: Cet article étudie les discours conflictuels relatifs au projet de construction du Nouveau Musée de l'Acropole (NMA) d'Athènes. L'argument sur lequel repose l'analyse est que le NMA constitue un ‘terrain conflictuel’, du fait des différents sens, valeurs et usages attachés à la colline de l'Acropole et à ses monuments au cours de l'histoire. L'article passe en revue la diversité des usages et des significations conférés à la colline de l'Acropole depuis 1834, lorsque l'Etat grec a obtenu son indépendance, mais l'auteur montre aussi que, malgré la variabilité des valeurs généralement attachées au patrimoine, certaines de ces valeurs sont stables et demeurent inchangées au cours du temps. L'analyse examine les différents niveaux des débats que le projet de NMA a suscités, explorant la façon dont ses partisans et ses opposants légitiment leurs positions, aux niveaux local, national et international.
