GREECE PELOPONNESE ARGOLIS ARGOS MUSEUM

The Archaeological Museum of Argos houses finds from the excavations in Argos and the surrounding area, covering the time from the Neolithic (ca. 5000 BC) until the Late Roman period (600 AD). Especially, it contains the celebrated "Lerna collection" from the excavations conducted by the American School of Classical Studies at Lerna that I was curious to see. - Alas, during my yearly visits since September 2019 the museum was closed due to some reorganisation of the exhibits.

So then I could only visit the garden of the museum, where ancient architectural members lie scattered around. Some with a number on it but otherwise no explanation.

Above: A male statue, perhaps representing Herakles. - Below left: A friendly looking Medusa. - Below right: Part of the mosaic floors of the 5th century AD with personified months of the year.

Above: More of the naive mosaic floors. - Below: After this all in all disappointing experience I need a compensation. Something to enjoy ... in a seaside taverna in Myloi.
