ΠΕΡΙΛΗΨΗ
The Archaeological Museum of Chaeronea is situated in a building erected between 1903 and 1907, adjacent to the monumental statue of the Lion of Chaeronea, in order to shelter the finds of the excavations carried out by the Archaeological Society at Athens. The exhibits comprise mainly remains from the battles of 338 B.C. and 86 B.C., as well as finds from Neolithic sites from the valley of Boeotian Kephissus. The building was seriously damaged by the 1981 earthquakes and its restoration was funded by the Regional Operational Programme for Continental Greece of the Third Community Support Framework. The organization of the new exhibition was carried out by the 9th Ephorate of Prehistoric and Classical Antiquities during the period 2004-2009. Nowadays the museum follows a thematic approach, presenting -following an innovative museological approach-aspects of the daily life from the Prehistoric period to Roman Antiquity, as well as collections of coins and statues. |
