The Archaeological Museum of Piraeus holds the entire history of the city as a key commercial centre of the eastern Mediterranean and port of ancient Athens.
The two-storey building surrounds the Hellenistic theatre of Zea, while its collection is displayed in ten halls. The exhibits originate mainly from the wider area of Piraeus and the coasts of Attica, covering the period from the Mycenaean to the Roman era.
Of particular importance are the funerary stelae, most notably the famous 4th century BC funerary monument of Kallithea, as well as the rare intact bronze statues of Athena and Artemis from the Archaic-Classical period.
Equally notable is the kouros dedicated to the god Apollo, the oldest surviving cast statue in Greece.
