The Archaeological Museum of Nafplio has exhibits of the Neolithic, Chalcolithic, Helladic, Mycenaean, Classical, Hellenistic and Roman periods from all over southern Argolis.
A two-storey building constructed during the second period of the Venetian rule (1713) and converted into a museum in 1926, houses the collection of the Archaeological Museum in the historic district of Nafplion. The new permanent exhibition outlines the cultural identity of Argolida from the Paleolithic period until Roman times. The most important exhibits are associated with the Mycenaean centers of the region and present in detail the palatial system, as well as the daily life and burial customs of the Mycenaean world. On the first floor, a bronze armor from Dendra, found in a chamber tomb of the 15th century BC that belonged to a distinguished warrior, is the most remarkable object on display.
References:Rosenborg Palace was built in the period 1606-34 as Christian IV’s summerhouse just outside the ramparts of Copenhagen. Christian IV was very fond of the palace and often stayed at the castle when he resided in Copenhagen, and it was here that he died in 1648. After his death, the palace passed to his son King Frederik III, who together with his queen, Sophie Amalie, carried out several types of modernisation.
The last king who used the place as a residence was Frederik IV, and around 1720, Rosenborg was abandoned in favor of Frederiksborg Palace.Through the 1700s, considerable art treasures were collected at Rosenborg Castle, among other things items from the estates of deceased royalty and from Christiansborg after the fire there in 1794.
Soon the idea of a museum arose, and that was realised in 1833, which is The Royal Danish Collection’s official year of establishment.
