Archeological Museum of Argos, Archaeological museum in Argos, Greece.
The Archaeological Museum of Argos occupies two connected buildings at the intersection of Vasilissis Olgas and Kallergis streets: a residence dating to the 1830s and a modern wing. The galleries display pottery, sculptures, and objects from prehistoric settlements, Mycenaean burial sites, and ancient civic spaces in the surrounding region.
The collection brings together artifacts from excavations carried out by French and American archaeological institutions, spanning from around 2000 BC to 600 AD. These objects document the settlement patterns and cultural developments across the Argolis peninsula over more than two millennia.
The collection represents finds from across the Argolis region, reflecting how communities developed from early settlements onward. Pottery styles and sculptural techniques visible in the galleries show how artistic traditions shifted over generations.
The museum is currently undergoing renovation work with funding from Greece and the European Union, so access is limited. Check current conditions before planning a visit, as the reopening status may change.
The courtyard displays Roman mosaics depicting the twelve months, with seasonal scenes showing figures dressed for different times of year. These intricate works offer a rare view into how Romans pictured the passage of seasons.
