Музей Музей древнего Коринфа в Греции

Музей

The museum is located within the archaeological site and falls under the jurisdiction of the 37th Ephoreia of the Greek Archaeological Service. It houses the catalogued finds from the American Excavations. A selection of these are on display in three display rooms and a large courtyard. The remainder comprise a study collection. The exhibition consists of two main galleries housing sculpture, ceramics, and minor objects of prehistoric through medieval date deriving from excavations in and around Corinth. The terracottas from the Asklepieion, located in a third room can be viewed by request only. Hours vary but the museum is generally open during the winter from 8:45am-5:00pm and extended hours in summer from 8:45am-7:00pm.
The museum was built in 1931/32 by the architect W. Stuart Thompson and was extended towards the east in 1950. The building of the wonderful repository was a large undertaking. It contains collections of prehistoric finds, various items ranging from the Geometric to the Hellenistic period, Roman and Byzantine finds, excavation finds from the Asklepieion of Corinth, and a collection of sculptures and inscriptions.
