Archaelogical Museum of Olympia, Archaeological museum in Ancient Olympia, Greece
The Archaeological Museum of Olympia contains twelve exhibition halls displaying artifacts from prehistoric times through the early Christian period.

The museum houses the statue of Hermes by Praxiteles, the Nike of Paionios, and the pediments from the Temple of Zeus.
The museum operates daily from 8:00 AM to 8:00 PM during summer months, with reduced hours and ticket prices from November through March.
