In 10 halls in a 2 floors of the neoclassical building kept archaeological finds from the area of Piraeus, the coastal zone of Salamis, the Moschatou, Glyfada ,Varis and nearest islands.
Amazing!!! Loved the glass floors! Very well organized and gives a better understanding of the history of Athens!
The Piraeus Archaeological Museum operates in a modern building. It consists of a two-store showroom with warehouse and laboratories located in the basement. There is a building connection to the oldest museum (built in 1935 and declared as under preservation)
Long queue for entry tickets....endless... waiting.After you have been through the serpentine queue, the museum is the place to visit after the city tour
The collection mostly consists of funeral monuments from the Piraeus Road of Tombs and object found in the harbour. The bronze statues are fantastic, especially the Piraeus Apollo, while the tomb monuments give you the understanding of particular Greek perception of the death and afterlife.The ruins of the Zeas Theatre and an open-air exhibition are accessible from the museum courtyard.
Even though I am not really into Archaeological museums, I thought whilst I was in Piraeus it would be a good idea to pay this museum a visit.
Love this gorgeous place next to our place, loads to learn about Greek ancient culture and life . Last Sunday of August there s an excellent outdoors concert
The museum has an unbelievable assortment of works,but the Mycenaean and Archaic works are amazing and there is lots to see. Plan on spending at least 3 hours here if you want to take it all in.
An unexpected and outstanding collection of archeological discoveries. You can walk to the harbor. There was no crowd and my wife and I could take our time to admire the artifacts. The yard outside the museum would require some de-weeding, but, ...still give a great sense of the past.
Long history,on a small but really nice museum. Everybody has to visit it.Take your breakfast at the marina Zea and the go up to visit the beautiful small archaeological place....
