Archaeological Museum of Brauron

A comprehensive insight into the cult of Artemis and ancient Mesogaia

The Archaeological Museum of Brauron is situated next to the archaeological site of the Sanctuary of Artemis, set within a peaceful, open landscape. A visit to the museum serves as a seamless continuation of the tour of the outdoor site: it is here that the finds are gathered, bringing a human dimension and a personal face to the cult that flourished at Brauron for more than ten centuries. 


Some of the most iconic exhibits worth noting include:



  • The marble "Relief of the Gods", an extensive work that encapsulates the myth and cult of the goddess, offering an artistic glimpse into the religious scene of the era.

  • Statuettes and small sculptures of children, known as arktoi (bears), which were dedicated to the goddess Artemis and bear witness to the unique ritual where young girls dedicated toys and objects to the goddess' protection. 

  • Votive offerings, including jewellery, small-scale statuettes, and ritual vessels that illustrate how worshippers gave thanks to or invoked the goddess.

  • Ceramic vessels and vases from different periods, showing the evolution of pottery and revealing aspects of daily life and religious practices. 

  • Rare wooden objects and artefacts, such as shoe soles with incised designs and wooden utensils, which offer valuable information on the craftsmanship, aesthetics, and daily habits of the people who lived and worshipped here. 


The permanent exhibition spans a wide chronological range, from the 3rd millennium BC to the 4th century AD. In addition to the finds from the sanctuary, the museum also presents discoveries from the wider Mesogaia region, making it a comprehensive introduction to the history and traditions of the area.
