Archaeological Museum of Andros
Αρχαιολογικό Μουσείο Άνδρου
The museum's star exhibit is the 1st-century BC marble 'Hermes of Andros', alongside artefacts from the ancient settlement of Zagora.
The Archaeological Museum of Andros was also funded by the Goulandris Foundation and opened in 1981. Its most famous piece is the well-preserved marble statue of Hermes of Andros, a Hellenistic work unearthed at Paleopolis. Other highlights include a reconstruction model of the Geometric-period settlement at Zagora, along with pottery, sculpture, and inscriptions. The museum is small, and a visit takes about an hour. It is often closed on Tuesdays, and opening hours change with the seasons. It is next to the Museum of Modern Art, so the two can be visited together.
Opening hours
About 8:30 am–3:30 pm; closed Tuesdays (check the official website)
