Archaeological Collection of Pythagorio

This collection is housed in the town hall of the village of Pythagorio. It contains sculptures, inscriptions, statues and fragments of graves dating back to the Archaic and Roman period.

It was founded by Ionannis Melentism professor of paleontology at the University of Thessaloniki.

It is supposed to be the only paleontological museum in Greece and displays fossils and the remains of prehistoric animals such as the small horse of Samos which has three toes and is 13 millions years old.

The Natural History Museum


The Natural History Museum of the Aegean is located in the town of Mylinoi on the island of Samos.
 
It is located near the port of Vathy, close to the Town Hall and the Central Park of the capital.

The museum is made of two buildings: the Old Museum, built in 1912, and the New Museum, built in 1987.

Various items dating back to the Hellenistic, the Prehistoric, the Geometric and the Archaic period.
    For the moment, the collection is not very rich because many of the items are kept on the storerooms but it is slowly enriching by the continuous excavations that are made in the region.

The Fossil Museum of Samos

This museum is located in the lovely village of Mytilini.

Dimitriou Folklore Museum

The Museum was established with the help of the ‘Nikolaos Dimitriou Literary Foundation’ and has been operating since May 1997 in Pythagorio.
