Archaeological Museum of Nafplion

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.
