Delos - Archaeological Museum

At Delos, east of the Sacred Precinct, is the Archeological Museum, which contains a good collection of material from the site, although some of the finest items found here are now in the National Archeological Museum and the Museum of Cycladic Art in Athens. In the two central rooms are works of Archaic art, including (on the left) a marble tripod base with a ram's head and Gorgons (seventh century B.C.), a sphinx, several kouroi and korai (sixth century B.C.), a hand of the Naxian Apollo (on the right) and three seated figures of women (seventh century B.C.). The room to the left of the entrance contains fragments (acroteria and figures from the pediment) from the Temple of the Athenians, herms, funerary stelae, small sculpture, terracottas and pottery. In the room to the right are votive offerings from the temple of Artemis, fragments of sculpture and inscriptions.
