If you're a history buff or like museums, you have to check this out, you'll be impressed with the island's rich history and impressive artefacts.

Samos Archaeological Museum is located near the port of Vathy, close to the Town Hall and the Central Park of the capital. Samos Archaeological Museum is regarded as one of the most important museums of entire Greece.

The exhibits are housed in two buildings: the old - neoclassical and the new - modern house a display of treasures of priceless value, mainly from the sanctuary of Hera, which contained “the largest temple that I have seen”, as Herodotus notes. The old building is devoted to objects of minor art, while the new houses sculptures. All the exhibits, without exception, are impressive.

It contains the following collections: Archaic Sculpture, Pottery, Bronzes, Ivory objects, Wooden items, Clay figurines, Small objects from Egypt and Persia etc.. Various items dating back to the Hellenistic, the Prehistoric, the Geometric and the Archaic period. A large number of pieces of sculpture from the 5th, 6th and 7th centuries B.C, kores and kouroi (above life-size), griffin-protomes, Ionian columns and much more. Also included in the collection are pieces from the Hellenistic period, such as statues (above life-size), grave relics and votive offerings.

While back, temple robbery was punished with the death penalty. Today, the records of the temple of Hera are in the Archaeological Museum of Samos. Still today you should not risk taking anything away. The museum exposes numerous records and the valuable Statue of Kouros, 4,75m high. Well…this one, you wouldn't be able to...

Le musée archéologique de Vathy, situé dans le centre-ville est composé de deux bâtiments. Il faut le savoir car ils se situent l'un en face de l'autre et on ne vous le dira pas et ce ne sera pas indiqué non plus, sauf sur le petit fascicule qu'on vous distribue avec le ticket qui est au tarif unique de 10 euros. Le prix vaut la visite. Dans le premier bâtiment plus petit vous pourrez admirer quelques sculptures pour la plupart retrouvées lors de fouilles de l'Héraion (Temple dédié à la déesse Héra) dont quelques Kouros, dont l'un, notable, est l'un des plus grands de Grèce puisqu'il mesure 5,25m de haut. Ils ont aussi retrouvé les fragments d'un autre Kouros qui était sensiblement identique et qui mesurait donc la même taille et qui devait être placé de manière symétrique avec l'autre quelque part dans l'Héraion. Dans le deuxième bâtiment, outre quelques autres sculptures datant de la période romaine, vous pourrez admirer poteries, céramiques, bijoux, et pour ce qu'il y a sans doute de plus notable, une belle collection de bronzes représentant des têtes de Griffons. Les panneaux explicatifs outre le fait d'être ennuyeux sont assez laconiques et, il faut le dire, assez datés. Il faudra donc plutôt se référer à des articles de qualité sur internet ou commentaires de qualité sur Google pour en apprendre davantage. Le musée, tout comme l'Héraion d'ailleurs, ferme à 15h30, donc mieux vaut vous y prendre tôt. La visite se fait en 1h30, 2h grand maximum car le musée reste relativement...

A small museum in 2 buildings. It's worth a visit for 4 euros to see ancient (6 B.C) status, large and small from local sites. The glass cases hold all the personal items you would expect to see. The glass artwork and bottles always impress me. The skilled workmanship and the fact that they have survived. In front of the museum is a shady park... lam hugging a giant old tree next to a cafe. I recommend that you take time to rest here and have a drink and...

Very nice museum with high quality pieces showing the history of Samos, highly recommended to visit in combination with Hera's temple and the archeological museum in Pythagoreio! The museum is split over two buildings next to one another. The museum is not very big but the extremely low price compensates for it. There is no air conditioning, so expect to sweat during the hot summers.

Go here early in the morning - you get the museum all to yourself. Can take a slow stroll and read all the signs. Staff was friendly. The collection is impressive and you learn some new things about the history of the island too!

No aircon, better plan a visit to be in the morning during the summer months. Contains artefacts in stone, clay, but also bronze and ivory, plenty from 5-6 century BC. Get to know a bit more about the history of Samos.
