Flanking the wide central square inside a splendid Venetian building, this museum traces the social development of the Argolis region, from the hunter-gatherers of the Fragthi cave to the sophisticated Mycenaean-era civilisations, through beautifully presented archaeological finds from the surrounding area. Exhibits range from Paleolithic fire middens, dating from 32,000 BC, to elaborately painted amphorae (c 520 BC). The second floor exhibits the only existing bronze armour from near Mycenae (3500 years old and complete with boar-tusk helmet), a wealth of funereal offerings and ceremonial clay masks.
8-17h Tuesday-Sunday. €6 summer, €3 winter (first Sundays free Nov-Mar)
