The museum with many remarkable archaeological finds is located in the Samos capital of Vathy near the town port. In the two edifices - an old and a new one - you can see marble statues, ceramics, bronze statues and jewellery, and objects made of ivory and wood. Yet the greatest rarity is a giant, more than 5 metres high statues, standing on metal pedestals instead of feet. A man feels trifling compared to this heroic statue.

The museum can be accessed for a fee (the entrance is free on Saturdays).
