The local museum is situated within the site and contains important items found in the excavations at ancient Corinth and the surroundings. The various exhibits - mainly pottery, but also mosaics and some sculptures - date from the Neolithic to the Hellenistic and especially the Roman period.

Above: Some sculptures like these are placed outside the museum - unfortunately without any explanatory details to accompany them. - Below: Also outside the museum are some column capitals, here the Doric and the Ionian style.
