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

The Archaeological Museum of Argostoli exhibits artifacts spanning from prehistoric to Roman periods, including pottery, jewelry, and mosaics from regional excavations.

Following the destruction of the original structure in the 1953 earthquake, architect Patroklos Karantinos designed the current museum building, completed in 1960.

The museum displays numerous Mycenaean artifacts from the 12th century BC, including a decorated kylix cup and bronze fibulas found in local cemeteries.

The museum, located on R. Vergoti Street opposite the Municipal Theater, maintains regular opening hours and provides guided tours for visitors.

Among the notable exhibits is a gold necklace featuring pairs of spirals discovered in the Mycenaean cemetery at Lakkithra, dating back to the 12th century BC.
