ARCHAOLOGICAL MUSEUM OF MYTILENE - NEW BUIDING
The new building of the Archaeological Museum of Mytilene, which is a sample of the modern museum architecture, is located in the Kioski area, where excavations have brought to light a sanctuary of Aphrodite. Its construction was completed in 1995, with the co-financing of the Greek State and the European Community, and the permanent exhibition "Lesbos from Hellenistic to Roman Times" opened on 23 March 1999.
The purpose of the exhibition is to provide the visitor with a view of the way of life on Lesbos from the 2nd century B.C. to the 3rd century A.D., by displaying ancient Roman villas with mosaic floors, everyday objects and statues, that either had a religious character or were symbols of power and wealth. The display is completed with captions, explanatory texts, maps and models that contribute to a better understanding of the material on display.
