ARCHAEOLOGICAL MUSEUM
Archaeological museum exhibiting collections dating from prehistoric times to the Roman era
Established in 1828, it was the first national museum in Greece, founded in 1829 by Ioannis Kapodistrias in Aegina, then capital of the Greek state. In the three rooms of the Archaeological Museum, the collections on display cover the period from Prehistory to the Roman period. On two floors you will find sculptures from the temple of Aphaia and the statue of Heracles from the temple of Apollo. Located on the hill where the ancient Acropolis was located, you will also see on the site the only surviving column from the Doric temple of Apollo (520 BC).
