Archaeological Museum of Paros
The Archaeological Museum of Paros was built in 1960, next to Parikia‘s High School and it is one of the most important museums in Greece, due to the exhibits that were brought to light during excavations in Paros and Antiparos.
These findings date from the Neolithic period to the Early Christianity. Among these findings are: the Nike (Victory) of Paros, Cycladic figurines, mosaics, the ancient marble Mermaid (Gorgo), which according to the myth is a monster that terrifies and petrifies whoever faces it, kouroi, the poet Archilochus, amphorae from a Parian workshop, deities etc.
In the showcases of the Archaeological Museum of Paros, there are findings from the pottery and the marble sculpture workshops, while in its yard there are statues and sarcophagi dating back to the Classical and the Roman period, as well as mosaics that were found in Panagia Ekatontapiliani (The Virgin Mary of 100 doors).
