Archaeological Museum of Argostoli, Archaeological museum in Argostoli, Greece.

The Archaeological Museum of Argostoli is located on Rigoleto Vergoti Street and displays findings from the region spanning prehistoric to Roman times. The collection includes pottery, jewelry, mosaics, and other objects from local excavations across different ancient periods.

The original museum was destroyed by the 1953 earthquake. A new building, designed by architect Patroklos Karantinos, was founded in 1957 and completed in 1960. In 2000 the Ministry of Culture finished restoring its structural integrity and refurbishing the exhibition. The 2014 earthquakes damaged it, and it has been closed since; it was later demolished and construction of a new building began.

The museum displays objects from different periods of ancient life in the region, showing how people lived and what mattered to them. Visitors can see pottery used daily, jewelry worn for special occasions, and items placed in burial sites.

The museum has been closed since the 2014 earthquakes and is not visitable; the damaged building was later demolished and construction of a new building began. Check locally for the progress of the new museum before travelling to the site.

Among the displays is a gold necklace featuring spiral designs discovered at an ancient burial site near Lakkithra. This piece demonstrates the craftsmanship and importance of jewelry in ancient society.
