Archaeological Museum of Sparta

There are seven rooms of an approximate area of 500 m2 which display only a small part of the collection.

Years after its opening, it was largely neglected with most of its pieces currently stored in warehouses. In July 2020, the Greek Minister of Culture and Sports Lina Mendoni approved plans to construct a new Archaeological Museum of Sparta and renovate the existing museum. The initiative included significant funding and promotion from the Stavros Niarchos Foundation.

In the museum are housed finds from excavations around the prefecture of Lakonia, provided that they are not exposed in collections of the archaeological museum Gythion or Neapolis. • Room I: Stelae of Roman years. • Room II: Finds from the shrine of Artemis Orthia. • Room III: Monumental sculpture and portraiture of Roman era. • Room IV: Prehistoric finds from the wider region of Lakonia. • Room V: Samples of Roman mosaics. • Room VI: Architectonic parts of Apollo temple in Amyclae, that constitute also the more major department of collection • Room VII: Finds of Lakonian sculpture.
