ARCHAEOLOGICAL MUSEUM OF PIRAEUS This significant museum of Piraeus features a representative and complete picture of the history of the city which in ancient times flourished as the commercial centre of the Eastern Mediterranean and as a naval dockyard of ancient Athens. The museum is housed in a two storey building and there is also an outdoor archaeological site. Τhe exhibits cover important dates in the history of Piraeus, the demes of Attica (burgs of Athens or subdivision of Attica, the region surrounding Athens) and the islands of the Saronic Gulf, from Mycenaean times to the Roman era. Some of the exhibits are extremely rare, in particular the famous bronze statues, the impressive monument of Kallithea, the figurines from the Minoan sanctuary on the summit of Kythera and the Mycenaean sanctuary in Methana. You will also admire the oldest surviving cast statue in Greece, a kouros (statue of a young male) dedicated to the god Apollo, two statues of Artemis and a theatrical tragedy mask -all brass works dating from the 4th century B.C. The marble lion of Moshato, which was a funerary offering, is also exhibited here, as is the funerary monument of Nikiratos and a bronze ram 0.8 meters long from an Athenian trireme.

Αρτια οργανωμενο μουσειο με εντυπωσιακα εκθεματα, που θα επρεπε καθε κατοικος του λεκανοπεδιου να επισκεφτει! Πανεμορφα χάλκινα αγαλματα. επιτυμβιες στηλες καθως και ολοκληρο ταφικο συγκροτημα που βρεθηκε στην Καλλιθέα. Εχει ευρηματα απο ολη την περιοχη του Πειραια καθως και τους ομορους δημους (Μοσχατο, Καλλιθέα κ.α.). Στον προαυλιο χωρο του βρισκεται το αρχαιο θεατρο της Ζεας, χτισμένο την Ελληνιστική περίοδο. Διαβάζουμε στην ιστοσελιδα του: Το Αρχαιολογικό Μουσείο του Πειραιά προσφέρει στον επισκέπτη την αντιπροσωπευτική και πλήρη εικόνα της ιστορίας της πόλης, που κατά την αρχαιότητα γνώρισε μεγάλη ακμή τόσο ως εμπορικό κέντρο της ανατολικής Μεσογείου όσο και ως πολεμικός ναύσταθμος της αρχαίας Αθήνας. Το είδος των εκθεμάτων του, που προέρχονται κυρίως από την ευρύτερη περιοχή του Πειραιά και της αττικής παραλίας, και τα χρονικά όρια που καλύπτουν, από τη μυκηναϊκή έως και τη ρωμαϊκή εποχή, είναι αντιπροσωπευτικά της ιδιομορφίας, της σύνθεσης του πληθυσμού και της ιστορίας του Πειραιά. Οι συλλογές του μουσείου αποτελούνται κυρίως από ευρήματα ανασκαφών ή τυχαία ευρήματα και από παραδόσεις αρχαιοτήτων, ενώ έχουν εμπλουτισθεί και με τις δωρεές ιδιωτικών συλλογών, όπως της συλλογής Μελετοπούλου-Νομίδου και, πιο πρόσφατα, της Συλλογής Γερουλάνου. Το μουσείο στεγάζεται σε διώροφο κτήριο, που πλαισιώνει στη δυτική και νότια πλευρά το ελληνιστικό θέατρο της Ζέας και έχει συνολικό εμβαδόν 1.394 τ.μ. Οι εκθεσιακοί του χώροι καταλαμβάνουν τις δέκα αίθουσες των δύο ορόφων (1.044 τ.μ.), ενώ στο υπόγειο (350 τ.μ.) βρίσκονται τα εργαστήρια συντήρησης πήλινων, μεταλλικών και λίθινων αντικειμένων, καθώς και η αποθήκη του μουσείου, όπου φυλάσσονται αρχαιολογικά ευρήματα από την περιοχή του Πειραιά, την παραλιακή ζώνη και τα νησιά. Το κτήριο του παλαιού μουσείου (330 τ.μ.), που βρίσκεται ακριβώς δίπλα, χρησιμοποιείται σήμερα ως αποθήκη γλυπτών, ενώ στον αρχαιολογικό χώρο του θεάτρου της Ζέας πρόκειται να λειτουργήσει υπαίθρια έκθεση γλυπτών.

The Archaeological Museum of Piraeus offers the visitor a representative and complete picture of the city's history, which in antiquity experienced great prosperity both as a commercial center of the eastern Mediterranean and as a naval base of ancient Athens. The type of its exhibits, which come mainly from the wider area of Piraeus and the Attica beach, from the Mycenaean to the Roman era, are representative of the composition of the population and the history of Piraeus.

It's a lovely museum, rather small but great for a short hide away from the sun. Their collection is impressive, the text is well written and enjoyable to read. The only thing we didn't enjoy was the stuff members following us from room to room. It wasn't even done discretly and got quite absurd at one moment. Other than that we liked the museum very much and would definitely recommend it if you're in Piraeus.

The museum is often out of the main tours, but it's definitely worth a visit for those who go to Athens or go by the port. The museum has a collection of incredible pieces, including my favorite: the bronze statue of Athena and the numerous clay pots so well conserved. When we went there in September, the place was very calm and we were the only ones there. The ticket is also very cheap.

Definitely to be seen! Piraeus Museum hosts 4 bronze statues of the 58 exhibited in the world. Also, contains findings of excavations discovered in Piraeus and in the area of the Attic coast from Bronze Age to Roman times. Access is permitted in the ancient theatre and their collection of mostly funerary art in the attached courtyard. Very polite and helpful stuff, thank you ☺️
