Archaelogical Museum

Archaelogical Museum, Archaeological museum in central Nafplion, Greece.

The Archaeological Museum occupies a former Venetian building and displays objects from different periods in the region, spanning from early human presence to Roman times. The collection is arranged across two floors and presents findings from major local settlements and caves.

The museum occupies the old Venetian barracks, a building erected in 1713 during Venetian rule over Nafplio. It stands on the town's central square and now holds two floors of exhibits. Its collections come from excavations across southern Argolis, including Franchthi Cave, Tiryns, Asine, Berbati and Palaia Epidauros.

The museum's name comes from its setting in Nafplio's central square, in the old Venetian barracks built in 1713. Among the finds are the Dendra Panoply, a complete bronze armour set from a chamber tomb at Dendra, described by Homer in Iliad lines 260-271, and a well-preserved wine cooler from Tiryns dated 2700-2200 BCE.

The museum is centrally located in Nafplio and easy to reach on foot, with clear markings guiding visitors through both floors. It helps to allow enough time to view the many objects at a comfortable pace without rushing.

The collection includes the Dendra Panoply, a complete bronze armor set from the 15th century BC that was found in a local chamber tomb and remains remarkably intact. This discovery offers rare insights into ancient combat equipment and metalworking craft.
