Syntagma Metro Station Archaeological Collection, Archaeological museum in Syntagma Metro Station, Athens, Greece
The Syntagma Metro Station houses an archaeological collection containing thousands of objects found during subway construction work in the 1990s. The artifacts are displayed in glass cases and wall exhibits, spanning from Neolithic times to the Byzantine period.
The metro construction projects of the 1990s uncovered thousands of ancient objects hidden beneath Athens streets. These discoveries led to the creation of this collection to reveal the layers of urban history to visitors.
The collection displays objects from daily life in ancient Athens, including looms, pottery, and burial goods from different periods. These items give visitors a direct look at how people lived and worked across many centuries.
The collection is located on the upper level of Syntagma Station and is accessible during metro operating hours from 5:00 AM to midnight with a valid ticket. Visiting the collection can be easily combined with a regular metro ride since there are no separate entry fees.
The artifacts are displayed directly at the location where they were discovered, allowing visitors to see the archaeological layers beneath the modern city. This unusual combination of public transportation and archaeology offers a rare glimpse into urban history during daily commutes.
