Ancient Corinth - Museum

 
The Corinth Museum provides a comprehensive view of the art of Corinth. Room I contains Neolithic and Helladic material (fourth-second millennium B.C.). In Room II, opposite Room I, are items ranging in date from the Proto-Geometric period (11th century B.C.) to Hellenistic times. Of particular interest is the collection of pottery, arranged in chronological order in a clockwise direction, which gives a complete picture of the development of Corinthian pottery from the 11th century onwards.
