Archaeological Museum of Delphi
Αρχαιολογικό Μουσείο Δελφών · Μουσείο Δελφών
The Archaeological Museum of Delphi displays the finds from the sanctuary of Delphi, including the bronze Charioteer, in a building beside the archaeological site in Phocis, Central Greece.
Why go
The Archaeological Museum of Delphi holds the finds from the sanctuary; Hellenic Heritage, the Ministry of Culture's heritage platform, says the first museum opened on 2 May 1903 after the great excavation, and the Ephorate's site adds that it was funded by a trust of Andreas Syngros and designed by the French architect A. Tournaire. Hellenic Heritage names among the exhibits the sculptures from the Treasuries of the Siphnians and the Athenians, Kleobis and Biton, the Sphinx of the Naxians, three chryselephantine statues, a life-sized silver bull and the 5th-century BC bronze Charioteer. Its ticket line covers the archaeological site and the museum together, and the Ministry's page for the museum says tickets are sold at on-site ticket offices and online and that there is a metal-detector gate at the museum entrance. This record is the museum, not the archaeological site.
