Marathon Museum Description

At the end of the hamlet of Vranás at Marathon can be seen a large barn-like structure erected over the site of a cemetery of the Middle and Later Helladic periods (2000-1100 B.C.). Adjoining it is the Marathon Museum, opened in 1975, which has a fine collection of local finds, arranged in chronological order in five rooms (going in an anti-clockwise direction).

Entrance hall: Map of the area; copies of a Persian helmet and of the "Ephebe of Marathon" (original in National Archeological Museum, Athens).

Rooms A and B: neolithic and early Helladic pottery (4000-2000 B.C.), mainly from the Cave of Pan and the Tsepi necropolis; middle and late Helladic material (2000-1100 B.C.) from Vranás; geometric pottery from Marathon
