It is located about 200 metres from the archaeological site of Vravrona and it houses sculptures and other artifacts that have found in the ancient sanctuary of Artemis goddess. There are many rare sculptures of children because Artemis was protect them. It is not big but definitely worth a visit. In my opinion one the best museums in Athens.

A must see especially for kids!!! Totally unexpected! In today's terms there was an ancient 'Finishing School' for youngsters there! Look at those adorable children statues! Not to be missed and so near the airport!
A hidden gem. Fabulous temple complex which is in a beautiful setting. Do not miss the museum since the artifacts found on the site and stored there are sumptuous. Be warned that Google Maps assumes there is a road to the site which does not exist. When you about 1 km out slow down and look for a brown sign which indicates you should turn left. Google Maps will tell you to go straight which is wrong.
A very nice display of ancient artifacts. I was particularly struck by a wheeled toy from 600BC, and some of the jewellery. Attached to the museum and included in the admission ticket are the ruins of a Temple of Artemis. A very nice spot with a spring.
Regrettably, the museum was closed today due to Orthodox Easter holidays. I knew it (and will return later this year to write more); anyway, the museum was not the main target of my trip. I wished to see the surrounding wetland reserve, which is not marked on the Maps (to my surprise) and the ancient ruins of the Temple of Artemis. The wetland is exciting, full of life, just the educational path was partly under-water and I did not have proper shoes to walk it, going bare-foot did not seem to be a good idea. The birds escaped in no time, just the tiny tortoise stayed; actually, I moved it aside worried it would get run over by the cars driving the unpaved road. I enjoyed walking and watching the sea, the rich wetland vegetation, and after two attempts found the temple ruins (yes, they are accessible through the museum entrance but driving by, I focused on the narrow road and sharp curve missing it twice). Next to the temple ruins, you can see a small house made of stones said to be the hermitage of St. Timotheus. Very close, you can enjoy wonderful beaches, watching or swimming, as you like.
Incredible archeological place, the museum has a vast collection of artifacts.
A must see. Amazing demonstration of the old Greek culture artistry and civilization. An hidden jem easily overlooked
One of the most important museums of Greece! You have to visit the museum and the nearby archaeological site
