Archaeological Museum of Kerameikos

The Archaeological Museum of Kerameikos is a small, purpose-built museum on the site of ancient Athens' potters' quarter and cemetery. Its collection comes almost entirely from the surrounding excavations, offering a focused look at funerary art and daily life across the Archaic, Classical, Hellenistic, and Roman periods. Displays include grave stelai, marble lekythoi, and a notable series of terracotta figurines. Nearby lie the Sanctuary of Artemis Soteira, the Hekateion, and the Eridanos, layers of sacred and civic life that make this compact museum an intimate introduction to the people of ancient Athens.
