Archaeological Museum of Piraeus, Athens

Within this museum lies an exquisite assortment of Greek and Roman statues, as well as grave stelae, featuring some truly captivating bronzes. Unearthed by laborers in 1959, these sizable sculptures portray Artemis, complete with her quiver, and Athena, donning her iconic owl-adorned helmet. Additionally, the collection includes the Piraeus 'koúros' statue of Apollo, dating back to 520 BC, showcasing the remarkable expressiveness of Greek sculpture.

The museum's exhibits are thoughtfully organized into distinct sections, offering a glimpse into various facets of ancient history. These sections encompass the Prehistoric collection (Mycenaean artifacts), Pottery collection, Bronze statues, a faithful recreation of a typical Classical sanctuary dedicated to Cybele, Classical gravestones, imposing funerary monuments, Hellenistic sculptures, and Roman sculptures.
