Archaeological Museum of Paros, Archaeological museum in Parikia, Greece

The Archaeological Museum of Paros contains two exhibition rooms and an atrium displaying sculptures, pottery, and architectural elements from different periods.

The museum opened in 1960 to house artifacts previously stored in the Monastery of Panagia Ekatontapiliani and received additional exhibition space in subsequent years.

The marble statue of Nike from 470 BC and the Gorgo statue from the mid-6th century BC represent major artistic achievements of ancient Greek civilization.

The museum sits within a 7-minute walk from the central bus station of Parikia and maintains regular opening hours throughout the archaeological season.

The museum exhibits the Fat Lady of Saliagos figurine, which researchers identify as the oldest discovered Cycladic sculpture in existence.
