Delphi Archeological Museum

We arrived in Delphi after a 45 minute drive from the monastery of Hosios Loukas. After checking into the Pan - Artemis hotel we enjoyed the view from our hotel room.

You have to buy separate tickets for the Delphi Archeological Museum and the archeological site. Since we would stay only one night at Delphi we decided to visit the museum today and the site the next morning. Luckily you can buy a combined ticket for the museum and the site, and use the tickets on different days.
The museum has a nice collection:

Toes


Kleobis and Biton (yes, they are Kouroi)


Fragments of an Ionian silver-plated bull of the mid 6th century BCE, the largest example from antiquity of a statue made out of precious metal.


Naxian Sphinx

 
Acanthus column of the dancers

 
Detail of one of the dancers

The most beautiful item is of course the Charioteer of Delphi. More about him in an upcoming post!
