The Archaeological Museum is divided into two floors of exhibition halls. There are fifty exhibition rooms in total, which are filled with cultural relics from various periods. It usually takes half a day to see them all.
If you are short of time, it is recommended to select key cultural relics to appreciate.
After entering the entrance, the first thing you see is the Mycenae display room, which contains the "Mask of Agamemnon", which was made according to the appearance of King Agamemnon of Mycenae after his death.
The gold mask produced is the best evidence of the powerful Mycenaean civilization; there are also Mycenaean Bronze Age jewelry and pottery, as well as prehistoric artifacts unearthed from the Peloponnese Peninsula.
The bronze statue of Poseidon of Artemision (Poseidon of Artemision) located in Room 15, the Horse and Jockey of Artemision in Room 21, and the standing figure of Kouroi displayed in chronological order on the left are all collections not to be missed.
On the second floor, there are murals unearthed from Akrotiri in southern Santorini. The murals depict scenes of daily life in Greece, such as boxing teenagers, navigation charts, etc.
These murals were buried underground due to a volcanic eruption in 1500 B.C., and they are now copied on the island.
Other exhibition rooms on the second floor display red and black bottles and bottles used in daily life by ancient Greeks, with geometric patterns painted on them.
Most of the exhibition rooms in the museum are not air-conditioned, so it is recommended to visit early in the morning to stay cooler and avoid crowds.
Many cultural relics in the museum are not clearly marked, some have no English explanations, and a few even have no Greek explanations. It is best to buy an English explanation before entering the museum, so as not to regret entering Baoshan and returning empty-handed.
