Archaeological Museum of Sifnos

The two-storey building of the Archaeological Museum of Sifnos was constructed by the Archaeological Service in the 1970s, on a plot of land donated by Professor Georgios Maridakis.

It was renovated by the Ministry of Culture in the early 1980s, and has been in regular operation since 1986.

Its collections include finds from various sites on the island including: Sculptures (tombstones, statues, architectural elements etc.) from the Archaic to the Roman era (6th century BC - 1st century BC), ceramics from Kastro from the Geometric to the Hellenistic period (8th century BC - 2nd century BC), and coins.

The most important exhibits in the museum are a floral-crowned marble headstone (4th century BC), the head of a marble female statue (4th century BC), the head of a marble kouros (mid 6th century BC), an Ionic order column capital (6th century BC) and a marble headstone (Hellenistic period).

It is open to the public every day except Mondays and Public Holidays.
