The Archaeological Museum of Mykonos was built in 1902, especially to house the finds from the “Katharasi Monastery” of 426/5 BC, which was revealed in 1898 by Dim. Stavropoulos in Rhenia.

The design was by architect Alexandros Lykakis, while the cost was paid by the Ministry of National Education and Religious Affairs and the Athens Archaeological Society. The plot is donated by the Municipality of Mykonos. The original neoclassical building took its current “island” form in 1934, while in 1972 the large eastern hall was added.

The museum exhibits a large number of prehistoric vessels until the Late Hellenistic period (3rd millennium BC – 1st century BC), statuary statues, columns and urnets from Rhenia and very few vases from Mykonos.

Collections including:

– tombstones and columns of the 2nd – 1st century BC,

– Vases of the third millennium BC – 1st century BC,

– Figurines of the 2nd – 1st century BC,

– Jewelry and small items of the 2nd – 1st century BC
