Archaeological Museum of Eretria, Archaeological museum in Eretria, Greece.

The Archaeological Museum of Eretria stands next to the ancient site and displays finds from Xeropolis, the Skoumbri cemetery, Palaia Perivolia, Toumba at Lefkandi, Paliochora and Geraki hill at Amarynthos, Eretria and Magoula. Its rooms hold Geometric and Archaic vases, sculpture from the temple of Apollo Daphnephoros, and the terracotta centaur from Lefkandi.

The museum was established in the 1960s to protect and display findings from the region. Since then, the collection has undergone several modernizations and expansions to provide visitors with better access to the artifacts.

The collection features clay figurines and sculptural pieces that originated from temples and burial sites throughout the region. These objects reveal how ancient people expressed their beliefs and told their stories through art.

The museum is located in the town center and is easy to reach on foot. Plan for one to two hours for your visit, especially if you want to read the informational plaques.

The terracotta centaur from Lefkandi, dated to the second half of the 10th century BC, was found broken in two parts, each buried in a different grave. The museum also holds a straight-sided Mycenaean alabastron with three handles from the 12th century BC, painted in matt white on a dark ground with a griffin, a roe and a deer.
