A wonderful museum situated in the Olympia complex that is well worth the visit. So many pieces that are familiar if you love history. Do some online research and you will enjoy every minute. Take your time and just wander around - some tour groups but they tend to head for the 'big name' items. There is a lot more to see if you look - -

Words cannot describe the feeling someone will have when walking in these sacred ancient places and visiting the museum. The Olympics have shaped the world‘s athletic and cultural heritage and I definately recommend to visit this place. Be sure to wear confirtable shoes and bring some water during the summer time because of the temperatures. I would recommend a visit during spring time when the trees and flowers blossom.

A unique museum with reconstructed inventions of the ancient greek world! Interactive exhibits-replicas from the 7th c. BC.

The building may only be small world standards but it houses a wealth of knowlege regarding ancient Greek inventions. I was staggered to learn that centuries ago pilgrims visiting a holy shrine were able to use what apparently was one of the first inventions of a slot machine that would dispense a quantity of holy water by placing coins in the slot that fell onto a balance, which then opened a tap dispensing a measured amount of the water! This museum is full of similar technical inventions from industrial to medical use. If you are in Katakolo be sure not to miss this one

A unique museum in the centre of Ancient Olympia for the greatest mind of all time! Reconstructed inventions of Archimedes and his time. Interactive replicas of the ancient greek world.

Excellent, free museum on the main street. Full of hands on exhibits for children (and adults!) to play with and lots of fascinating and well translated information about Archimedes, his life and inventions. Staff were very welcoming and knowledgeable. A great way to spend an hour in between a visit to the Olympia site.

We usually try and collect original, locally produced art while on our trips. This is a "true" gallery, folks. Some stores loosely use that name, but this shop is for real. The staff are incredibly knowledgeable, talented and helpful. We wound up collecting two ancient pieces that had been restored by a local artisan and we are so proud of that purchase! If you are in the market for something other than typical souvenir "trinkets", this is your place! Tip; be prepared to "bargain" on the pricing and bring Euros as you will get a much better deal with cash!
