MESSENIA ARCHAEOLOGICAL MUSEUM

The museum building is located in the heart of Kalamata’s historic center where the city’s Municipal Market once positioned, north of the  Byzantine church of the Ayioi Apostoloi (Holy Apostles). After the destructive earthquake of 1986, the Market building was demolished due to the serious damage it had suffered. The new building that took its place was ceded by the Municipality of Kalamata to the Ministry of Culture  in order to operate as an Archaeological Museum. The opening of the Museum was perfοrmed in June 2009.


The exhibition’s objective is to provide the fullest possible historical presentation of the antiquities of Messenia, from the Prehistoric period to  the Byzantine Age, so that the visitor can obtain during the touring in exhibition’s individual sections a well-rounded view of the cultural  development of each area over the centuries. Following the old geographic division of the prefecture into four provinces, Kalamata, Messene,  Pylia, and Trifylia, the exhibition unfolds in correspondence with the large geographic sections, which include the most important archaeological sites with  representative findings from excavations, surface surveys, and antiquities surrendered by citizens.
