Archaeological Museum of Messenia, Archaeological museum in Kalamata, Greece

The Archaeological Museum of Messenia is located in Kalamata and displays finds from four distinct geographic zones of the southern Peloponnese. The exhibited objects come from Kalamata, Messini, Trifylia, and Pylos, with each area represented in its own exhibition space.

The museum opened in 2009, relocating to the former Municipal Market building in Kalamata after its predecessor was damaged in a 1986 earthquake. This move allowed the institution to continue its mission of showcasing regional archaeology in a more suitable space.

The museum's four sections follow the traditional regions of Messenia: Kalamata, Messene, Pylia and Triphylia. The finds moved here from the Benakeion Archaeological Museum, a 1742 Venetian-style building that collapsed in the 1986 earthquake, and the collection also covers the Byzantine and Latin eras.

The museum stands at 3 Agiou Ioanni street in Kalamata, on the site of the city's old market hall. Exhibits are arranged by the four traditional regions of Messenia — Kalamata, Messene, Pylia and Triphylia — so follow that order to keep the geography straight. The finds moved here from the Benakeion collection, whose operation ended on 24 November 2008.

The museum stands on the site of Kalamata's old market hall. Its core holdings were transferred from the Benakeion Archaeological Museum, a 1742 Venetian-style building that collapsed in the 1986 earthquake; the Benakeion closed on 24 November 2008 so its exhibits could move here.
