Archaeological Museum of Aegina, Archaeological museum in Aegina, Greece.
The museum displays artifacts across three rooms, including ancient vessels, pottery, ceramics, alabasters, statuettes, inscriptions, coins, and copper vessels from various periods.
Founded in 1828 by Ioannis Kapodistrias, the first governor of Greece, this institution stands as the first National Museum established in the Greek state.
The collections contain Early Bronze Age pottery, Middle Helladic artifacts, and Mycenaean figurines, representing different periods of Mediterranean civilization.
Located near the archaeological site of Kolona, the museum charges an entrance fee of 4 euros, which includes access to both the museum and the archaeological grounds.
The museum features a significant statue of a Sphinx from 460 BC, discovered in 1903, combining elements of a lion, an eagle, and a female human head.
