Archaeological Museum of Sparta, Archaeological museum in Sparta, Greece
The Archaeological Museum of Sparta contains seven rooms displaying artifacts from the Neolithic period through the late Roman era across 500 square meters.
The museum, established in 1874 by architect G. Katsaros, underwent expansion in 1930 with the addition of two supplementary exhibition rooms.
The collection includes clay amphorae from the 7th century, Roman sculptures, mosaics depicting Greek mythology, and artifacts from the Temple of Artemis.
The museum opens Tuesday through Sunday from 8:00 to 15:00 between June and October, and from 9:00 to 16:00 between November and May.
A Laconian stele from the 6th century BC displays figures of Menelaos with Helen and Agamemnon with Clytemnestra, separated by snake depictions.
