About Archaeological Museum of Argos

Archaeological Museum of Argos is a museum. Location: Argos-Mykines, Argolida.

From Wikipedia

The Archaeological Museum of Argos (Greek: Αρχαιολογικό Μουσείο Άργους) is a museum in Argos, in Argolis on the Peloponnese peninsula, Greece. The history of the museum began in April 1932, when the heirs of J. Kallergis donated the building to the Argos city council. They in turn gave it to the Greek state along with the surrounding area on October 25, 1955. The museum consists of two sections; the Kallergeio museum which was inaugurated in 1957 and the new section in 1961.
