Elegant neoclassical museum in Polis showcasing Attic pottery, gold jewelry, and sculptures from ancient Marion and Arsinoe.
Built on the site of the ancient city-kingdom of Marion—later refounded by Ptolemy II in 270 BC as Arsinoe—Polis Chrysochous was once a wealthy copper-trading hub closely linked with classical Athens.
The museum's three galleries display exquisite imported Attic red-figure vases, gold jewelry, bronze mirrors, and funerary sculptures unearthed from the royal necropolises.
