Archaeological Museum of Mykonos

The original neoclassical building of 1905 underwent refurbishments and expansions in the 1930s and 1960s and the large eastern room was added in 1972. The museum contains artefacts from the neighbouring island Rhenia, including 9th- to 8th-century BC ceramic pottery from the Cyclades, and 7th- to 6th-century BC works from other areas in the Aegean. Its most famous item is the large Mykonos vase (Pithos 2240), showing scenes from the fall of Troy.
