Archaeological Museum of Mykonos

The Archaeological Museum of Mykonos, located near the Old Port of the island, was established in 1902 by the Greek Archaeological Service. It was originally built to house artifacts discovered in a burial site on the nearby islet of Rhenia, dating back to 425/426 BC. The museum’s collection includes pottery, funerary urns, and sculptures from the Cycladic, Geometric, and Classical periods, reflecting the island’s archaeological and maritime heritage.

The museum contains artefacts from the neighbouring island Rhenia, including 9th- to 8th-century BC ceramic pottery from the Cyclades and.
