ARCHAELOGICAL MUSEUM OF DELPHI

ARCHAELOGICAL MUSEUM OF DELPHI
The first museum of Delphi was built in 1903 on the plans of the French architect Tournaire and was later incorporated in a larger edifice, constructed in 1938. The rearrangement of the exhibition was carried out gradually and was finally completed in 1980. In 1974, a new room was added for the exhibition of the gold and ivory finds from the sanctuary. A project for the further enlargement of the museum, which will improve the display of the finds as well as the appearance of the building, has already been approved by the Ministry of Culture. The museum is actually an integral part of the sanctuary and contains exclusively finds from the site of Delphi, mostly offerings and architectural parts.

Due to refurbishment operations, the museum will remain closed except for the Charioteer hall and its vestibule. These rooms will temporarily accommodate the following exhibits: Statue of the Charioteer, the silver Bull, bronze cauldron on tripod, white-ground plate, figure-shaped brazier, statue of Antinoos, the Omphalos, portrait of Roman military officer, portrait of philosopher. The new exhibition will be accessible to visitors as from May 2004.
