Archaeological Museum of Salamis: An exploration of plastic arts

Museum

Opening hours View Hours
Salamis, GR Get Directions

In the first of the ten “mutual-teaching schools”, founded in Attica during the governance of Kapodistrias, are exhibited finds from the island dating from prehistoric to early Christian times.

During the 19th century, many of them used to be stored in the National Archaeological Museum and the Salamis Town Hall, and later in the Archaeological Museum of Piraeus, for safekeeping.

Among the most important exhibits are the collection of funerary and votive reliefs, as well as the finds from the Cave of Euripides, including a marble figurine from the Final Neolithic period – likely a precursor to the later Cycladic figurines.
