Archaeological Museum of Thasos, Archaeological museum in Limenas, Thasos, Greece.

The Archaeological Museum of Thasos is a building with multiple galleries holding objects found across the island and dating from different periods of ancient times. The collection includes pottery, stone works, coins, inscriptions, and sculptures that span many centuries of the island's past.

The building was constructed in the 1930s as a place to gather and display finds from the island. Major renovations and expansions in the following decades allowed the growing collection to be properly shown to visitors.

The collection reflects artistic traditions that developed on the island over many centuries, showing how people here created and valued beautiful objects. You can trace these changes through pottery, stone carvings, and coins displayed throughout the galleries.

The museum occupies a house built in 1934 in Limenas, the main town of Thasos, a short walk from the harbour. Its galleries are arranged as an old wing, a prehistoric collection and a new section, with storerooms and workshops also restored. Allow time to move between these parts rather than expecting a single hall.

The three-and-a-half-metre kouros carrying a goat was found at Pythion, not in a temple. It is one of two Archaic sculptures singled out in the museum, alongside a bust of Pegasus dated to 500 BC.
