Paul and Alexandra Canellopoulos Museum

The Paul and Alexandra Canellopoulos Museum contains over 6,000 artifacts representing nearly 5,000 years of Ancient Greek civilization, displayed in chronological order.

In 1976, Paul and Alexandra Canellopoulos donated their collection, which started in 1923, to the Greek state, establishing this museum in a renovated 1894 neoclassical mansion.

The exhibition features Neolithic tools, Cycladic figurines, Minoan pottery, Byzantine icons, and Greek folk art from the 18th and 19th centuries.

The museum spreads across two underground floors, with the chronological exhibition starting from the second floor showcasing the oldest artifacts.

During the construction of the new wing in 2007, workers discovered remnants of a Late Byzantine house and sections of the medieval Rizokastro fortification.
