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

The Archaeological Museum of Delos displays extensive collections of artifacts found during excavations on the island, including statues, pottery, and mosaics from ancient times.

The French School at Athens started excavations in 1872, leading to the establishment of the museum in 1904 by the Archaeological Society of Athens.

The museum contains funerary statues, grave stelae, and clay figurines from the 7th to 1st century BC, reflecting burial practices of ancient Greek inhabitants.

Visitors can access the museum with an 8 euro ticket, excluding ferry transportation from Mykonos, and opening hours extend from 8:00 to 20:00 during summer.

The museum houses a collection of large lion statues discovered at the Lion terrace on Delos, representing original works from ancient Greece.
