The Archaeological Museum of Mykonos was created to host the archaeologist D. Stavropoulos' findings in Rineia, and particularly in the 'Pit of Purification. "(vathro-vothro) The museum was built in 1902 under the careful planning of the architect Alexander Lykakis, on a land ceded by the Town's municipality. In 1934 the building became more island-like both externally and internally, while in 1972 another large room was built. Inside the museum you can see a cornucopia of exhibits, such as a large number of jars, funerary statues, urns and columns from Renia. Some exhibits that stand out are:

• Tombstones of Tertia Horaria and Glycon
• A huge burial jar decorated with embossed scenes from the fall of Troy, among which the famous Trojan Horse is discernible.
• A statue of Hercules, a copy that was made of Parian marble in the Hellenistic era

and so many others are waiting for you to see in the Archaeological Museum of Mykonos. The Archaeological Museum is in Kamnaki, at an excellent spot in Mykonos' port, with great view. For more information, contact tel. 22890 – 22325.
