Nothing in its traditional, stone exterior suggests the ultra-modern interior of the Archaeological Museum of Tegea.
Although it is one of the oldest museums in the Peloponnese, inaugurated in 1909, it was completely remodelled before reopening in 2014.
With exhibits dating from prehistoric to Late Roman times and interactive digital applications, the Museum tells the story of the birth and development of the most powerful town in ancient Arcadia, Tegea, with a focus on its sanctuaries, especially the famous sanctuary of Athena Alea.
The sculptures of the famous Parian sculptor Skopas, who created outstanding works at the sanctuary of Athena Alea, stand out, as well as the unique Arcadian Hermes, abstract depictions of deities that the worshippers dedicated to the sanctuaries.
