Archaeological Museum of Delos

On the sacred island of Delos, the Archaeological Museum gathers the sanctuary's and ancient city's treasures under one roof. Founded in 1904, its rooms wrap around a central courtyard, each devoted to a different period or kind of find, from Archaic and Classical sculpture to Hellenistic and late antique material. Marble statues, pottery, and the famous marble lions that once lined the Sacred Way make the collection unforgettable. Nearby stand the Agora of the Italians, the House of the Masks, and the meeting place of the islanders' league. A visit here is essential for understanding the site.
