About
The Archaeological Museum of Mykonos was erected in 1902. The Museum was set up primarily to preserve the vestiges recovered from the Purification Pit which dates back to 426-425 B.C. This pit was unearthed in the year 1898 by renowned scholar D. Stavropoulos from the picturesque islet of Rheneia. The museum's elegant architectural feature was designed by the renowned architect, Alexandros Lykakis. The idea of the construction of the building which houses the museum was born by the Ministry of Education in collaboration with the Archaeological Society of Athens.
