Archaeological Museum of Aegina

The Archaeological Museum of Aigina was the first to be established in Greece. It was founded in 1829 under the supervision of A. Moustoxydi. The present-day building was constructed in 1980 at the archaeological site of Kolona and it is the gift of the Bavarian Collection of the Friends of the Museum of Aigina. It is planned to transfer the collection permanently to the Capodistrian Orphanage of Aigina.
