Archaeological Museum of Poros
Founded 1958, the Archaeological Museum of Poros resides at Korizi Square. It was conceived by a pioneering enthusiast of archaeology, Christos Fourniades, to conserve the ancient findings of Trizinia.
The official Collection of Poros Island was recorded for the first time in 1959. The Museum was constructed during 1966-1968 on the ruins of the razed house of Korizi.
The inaugural display of the artifacts, limited at the ground floor, was conveyed in 1978. Due to the wealth of the findings unveiled at the excavations throughout the past 20 years, the need for a new exhibition layout on the ground floor and its augmentation to the upper floor appeared. Works that were carried out in 1998, thus giving the Museum of Poros the appearance it has today.
