Archaeological Museum of Aigion

Archaeological Museum of Aigion, Archaeological museum in Aigio, Greece

The Archaeological Museum of Aigion is a local institution in a coastal town on the Peloponnese's northern shore that gathers discoveries from different historical periods. Six exhibition rooms display pottery, jewelry, tools, and statues found in the region, spanning from the Neolithic era to the Roman period.

The building was designed by architect Ernst Ziller and constructed in 1890 as Aigio's municipal market. It was converted into the Archaeological Museum of Aigion, which opened on 6 August 1994. The 1995 earthquake damaged the building, and the museum reopened in 1999.

The finds come mainly from Aigion and the other ancient cities of Aigialeia, including Aigeira, Keryneia and Rypes. The courtyard of the former market, now called the Melina Mercouri Hall, hosts cultural events staged by the museum and other local bodies.

The museum occupies the former municipal market hall in the centre of Aigion, a building designed by Ernst Ziller in 1890. Six rooms hold finds from Neolithic to Late Roman times, brought mainly from Aigion and the ancient cities of Aigialeia such as Aigeira, Keryneia and Rypes. The former market courtyard, now the Melina Mercouri Hall, is used for cultural events. The museum reopened in 1999 after damage from the 1995 earthquake.

A rare Neolithic painted container with decorative designs from the settlement of Sylivaina dating back roughly 8000 years is preserved here. This piece demonstrates that people in this region possessed artistic skills long before organized civilizations emerged.
