Museum of Amphipolis, Archaeological museum in Amfipoli, Serres Regional Unit, Greece

The Museum of Amphipolis displays collections spanning from prehistoric times through the Byzantine period across two floors. The exhibits showcase archaeological finds that document the history and material culture of the ancient settlement.

Dimitris Lazaridis, the local antiquities curator, pushed for a museum at Amphipolis and is considered its founder. Building began in the mid-1970s, stopped, resumed in 1984 and finished in 1995 to plans by architect Argyris Bakirtzis. During construction in 1976 workers found an unplundered cist tomb cut into the bedrock, holding a silver casket, cremation remains and a gold olive wreath dated to the late 5th or early 4th century BC; archaeologists identified it as the tomb of the Spartan general Brasidas.

At the entrance hangs a panel reproducing 18th-century scholars' correspondence about Amphipolis, alongside photographs of the Lion of Amphipolis being unearthed and restored in 1913. The head of the sphinx found in the third chamber of the Kasta tomb has been displayed here since summer 2019, awaiting return to its original position.

The museum stands at the entrance to the modern village of Amfipoli, about 600 metres north of the ancient acropolis, inside the walls of ancient Amphipolis and close to the Thessaloniki–Kavala national highway. The two-storey building has exhibition rooms, offices, a conference room and a storeroom; the finds are arranged by period, with the prehistoric to Byzantine sections in the basement and the history displays upstairs.
