The Neapolis - Voion Archaeological Museum

GET IN TOUCH

Dimokratias Avenue, Neapolis Voion

The Neapolis Archaeological Museum is located 550 metres from the port of Neapolis. The museum building was built in the 1950s with the help of expatriate Vaticans. In the early 1990s, this very building housed the Primary School and the Philharmonic music school. The Archaeological Museum exhibition includes sculptures, inscriptions, tombstones and vases. The nucleus of the Museum was the Archaeological Collection of Neapolis, which was founded in 1968. The then, Curator of Antiquities, Angelos Delivorrias, lovingly and respectfully gathered the sparse ancient items in the area. The Collection remained in the Community building until 2003, and in 2010 the antiquities were transferred to the Archaeological Museum building.

The exhibition also includes findings from other areas like Limiras in the Epidaurus province, which is almost geographically identical to the Maleas Peninsula. The similarity of the layout of the exhibition area with the outline of the Maleas peninsula as well as the trip of Pausanias, the traveller formed the basis for the design of the permanent exhibition. The tour starts from the northwestern part of the peninsula and ends at the northeast coast.
