The Archaeological Museum of Samothrace was designed by the architect Stuart M. Shaw, of the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, and built by the American School of Classical Studies at Athens in the years 1939-1955. The north wing was added later, in 1960-61.

The museum has four rooms and an atrium and houses:

– Room A: the reconstructed architectural parts from the buildings of the sanctuary,

– Room B: restored architectural parts, sculptures and coins found in the sanctuary,

– Room C: sculpture, miniature objects, and pottery from the sanctuary and the ancient city,

– Room D: finds from the cemeteries,

– Atrium: collection of inscriptions.
