Small museum, not that pricey to see though (2euro each), definitely a welcome stop in Plaka. The museum doesn’t contextualize the history that much. The selection is mostly vases and clay drinking vessels. There are some more interesting pieces though like a few early pottery pieces representing bulls. I learned about the psi/phi/tau shapes of early depictions of people. When we visited they had a modern art selection that was inspired from the ancient art, I liked that a lot.

It’s a small museum but lots to learn and see. It was also cheap. (2 Euro for a ticket) Definitely recommend coming here especially if you’re interested in history, it’s peaceful and quiet. We went in the middle of the day and it wasn’t over crowded with too many people and you actually have the chance and time to read the information about each display. It was really interesting!

Nice place to stop in your hike through Plaka. Very friendly personal. You'll see the exact replica of the famous "Venus from Milos" (on exhibit in Louvre, Paris) found here (they call it "Aphrodite from Milos" though). The bus stop is visible from the front square and you can spend some time by playing gigantic chess while waiting for your bus.

A tiny museum with a very well documented and easy to understand account on history of the island as well as its mercantile connections within Cyclades. I understand it may not be enough for everyone but if you plan to visit the ancient theatre and the surrounding area, the visit to the museum can definitely enhance the experience.

Small museum with only a few rooms, on one level. We found it by chance, when we got lost looking for the Folk Museum. There is ancient art as well as, its modern counterparts. It was an easy walk through, although we were constantly being watched. I guess too many people probably try to touch the exhibits.

La statua più famosa di Mílos è senza ombra di dubbio la Venere conservata oggi al Louvre di Parigi, un’opera in marmo pario del tardo periodo ellenistico, risalente al 120 a.C. circa. Il museo di Pláka ne espone una copia identica in gesso. Un’altra copia, invece, si trova nel luogo in cui la statua fu ritrovata nel 1829 da un certo George (?) Kentrotás. Un’altra bellissima statua è la cosiddetta “Lady di Phylakópi”, risalente addirittura alla metà del 14^ sec. a.C. e considerata -per l’eccezionale qualità- uno dei capolavori dell’arte micenea. Alla seconda metà del 12^ sec. a.C. appartengono alcune statuette maschili e femminili, oltre che a statuette di tori. In base alla decorazione, le ultime potrebbero essere state realizzate durante il 13^ sec. a.C. Il museo conserva anche molti vasi che documentano le varie fasi del sito di Phylakópi (denominate I, II e III) e altri reperti.
