Ubicado en una antigua y evocadora prisión veneciana en el corazón de la pintoresca Nauplia, el Museo Arqueológico es un fascinante tesoro de reliquias históricas que abarcan desde la prehistoria hasta la antigüedad tardía. El museo cuenta con una amplia variedad de objetos que revelan detalles sobre la vida, la cultura y la historia de las civilizaciones que han habitado la región a lo largo de los milenios. Destacan la notable colección de joyería micénica, las impresionantes cerámicas y las fascinantes esculturas romanas. Una de las piezas más destacadas es la impresionante armadura de bronce de Dendra, una pieza extraordinariamente bien conservada que nos permite vislumbrar el pasado militar de la antigua Grecia. Esta reliquia, junto con muchas otras, es una prueba palpable de la rica historia de la región y el importante papel que desempeñó en la civilización griega antigua. El edificio en sí, con su arquitectura veneciana y sus gruesas paredes de piedra, ofrece un ambiente evocador que realza la experiencia del visitante. Además, las exposiciones están dispuestas de manera lógica y coherente, lo que permite a los visitantes seguir un camino claro a través de los diferentes periodos históricos. Una posible área de mejora sería la provisión de más información en otros idiomas además del griego y el inglés. Esto permitiría a un público más amplio apreciar plenamente las exposiciones. También se agradecería una mayor interactividad en algunas secciones del museo para hacerlo más atractivo, especialmente para los visitantes más jóvenes. En resumen, el Museo Arqueológico de Nauplia ofrece una inmersión profunda en la rica y variada historia de la región. Aunque es pequeño, el museo está lleno de piezas interesantes y bien conservadas que seguro fascinarán a los amantes de la historia y la arqueología. Es, sin duda, una visita obligada para cualquier persona que pase por Nauplia.

The Nafplio Archaeological Museum is located in Syntagma Square, surrounded by the old buildings in the center of Nafplio. It is housed in a lovely warehouse building constructed by the Venetians in the early 18th century. The oldest artifacts in the museum were discovered in the famous Franchthi Cave in the region. The collection continues from these prehistoric items to Roman Civilization, with the most remarkable pieces, of course, being those excavated from Mycenae and its surroundings. During our visit, there was a small exhibition by photographer Nikolaos Tombazis in one section of the museum. The exhibition featured beautiful photographs of archaeologists working in nearby archaeological sites during the 1950s, showcasing their daily activities.

Nafplio Museum is a cute and quaint little museum in a small town, but perhaps unsurprisingly, it doesn't quite have the calibre of exhibits of some of the bigger museum. There's basically just a lot of pots, and not - to my mind at least - particularly exciting examples. It feels churlish to be complaining about the quality of pots which have survived thousands of years but there we have it. For 6€ it's at least not very expensive, and quite small so you can see everything within an hour. I just wish there'd been a bit more or it had been presented in a more exciting manner.

2 floors of great content! We start the tour with the professor showing us the photos, it's from the excavations in the 1950s in the Mycenee and argolid general region which are excavated below, on the class we are also shown the armor from Dendra which has remarkable survived to now! And the above floor shows the state of argolid after the collapse of the Mycenean palaces from attempts to follow a new legacy based on ruins of the old, slowly transistioning to classical Hellenistic etc periods. I really liked my short tour of the museum!

A lovely collection of interesting and priceless pieces of art and tools that come from an era long gone. Great atmosphere and not crowded even during peak vacation days in Greece. You might find the entry rules to be slightly discriminatory: if you’re an EU citizen under 25 years of age it’s free, if you’re a non-EU citizen under 25 it’s 3€. Albeit, both EU and non-EU over 25 are required to pay the full price of 6€. I personally don’t see the point in all of that but in any case, the entry is not overpriced in my opinion.
