Archaeological Museum of Isthmia

The Archaeological Museum of Isthmia, designed by the architect Pavlos Mylonas, stands inside the archaeological site of the Sanctuary of Poseidon. It presents finds from excavations at the Mycenaean cemeteries of the area, the Sanctuary of Poseidon, the Roman bath, the Justinian wall, the hill of Rachi Isthmia, and the port of Kechries. A prominent exhibit is the collection of glass panels from the temple of Isis at the ancient port of Kechries, displayed in a specially designed area. Other objects include vases, figurines, sculptures, architectural elements, memorial columns, brass objects and coins, uncovered during archaeological digs by the American School of Classical Studies. The museum’s exhibits are arranged to give insight into the history of the area from the mid-7th century BC onwards.
