One of the most important archaeological museums in Greece. It hosts in its collection artefacts from the sanctuary of Olympian Zeus, in Olympia, where the ancient Olympic Games were born and hosted. The new museum was constructed in 1975, and eventually opened in 1982, re-exhibiting its treasures. The architect of the museum was Patrocolos Karadinos. Its collections contain terracottas (prehistoric, Archaic and Classical periods), bronzes, sculptures (Archaic upto the Roman periods), and a collection from the Olympic Games. category images
