The elegant building consists of two floors with separate halls that are divided according to specific thematology and the present collection was finally presented in its current state in 1966.

On the first floor, guest can wander through four different collections: a. the one including findings such as machines, tools, items etc. that showcase the glory of the Piraeus port in antiquity, being a major naval power and commercial center, b. a collection of everyday items that present a slice of life of the inhabitants during the antiquity c. the renowned Bronze collection, with a variety of bronze artifacts and four impressive full-figured statues that are extremely rare -as only 35 bronze whole statues have ever been discovered to this day- and d. the representation of a sanctuary of the Classical period.

In the second floor, there are two rather impressive exhibitions, one regarding the sepulchral art and its expression and another one regarding the evolution of plastic art during the Hellenistic and Roman era.
