Archaeological Museum of Argos

The museum of Argos displays finds from the city and the Argolid, including mosaics and sculpture.

The Archaeological Museum of Argos occupies a historic building in the old town and displays finds from the city and the wider Argolid, including mosaics, sculpture and pottery from the prehistoric to the Roman periods. Argos is one of the oldest continuously inhabited cities in Europe, and the collections reflect that long history. Highlights include Roman mosaics with scenes from daily life and mythology, as well as sculpture from the city and from sanctuaries in the area. The museum is compact, and a visit takes about an hour, making it easy to combine with the ancient theatre and Larissa Castle in the same day. It is a good indoor option when the weather is very hot or wet. Information panels in English help visitors follow the story. Check the official opening hours before you go, as museums in Greece usually close on one day each week, and ticket prices can change.
