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 first museum building outside Athens was constructed in 1885 through funding from banker Andreas Syngros and survived multiple earthquakes.

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.

The museum maintains the largest collection of ancient bronze objects in the world, including weapons, figurines, and ceremonial items from ancient Greece.
