Archaeological Museum of Kos
The Archaeological Museum of Kos is housed in a superb example of an Italian-era building, in the heart of Kos Town. It was designed by the Italian architect Rodolfo Petracco and built in 1936. It is a two-story building with an imposing facade that has been listed as a monument since 1986. It is laid out over two floors but only the ground floor is open to the public. The basement and the first floor are used to store small finds not on display like pottery, vases of various sizes and purposes, tools and everyday objects.
The museum is relatively small but it is home to some superb sculptures from the Hellenistic to late Roman eras, discovered in various archaeological sites around the island since the beginning of the century until today. Most finds come from the archaeological sites of the Ancient Agora and the West archaeological site, as well as from individual sites such as the Altar of Dionysus, the Odeon and the Roman House (Casa Romana).
At the entrance there is an atrium with a beautiful mosaic, from the Hellenistic period (2nd-3rd century AD), depicting a scene with Hippocrates and the god Asclepius. The ground floor hosts a large collection of statues and mosaic floor pieces, including statues of the Hellenistic era, most of which were found stored in the arcades of the Odeon and statues of the Roman era like the Seated Hermes and a statue of the goddess Demetra. The most famous pieces in the museum are the oldest existing statue of Hippocrates and that of Seated Hermes from the 2nd century BC as well as the supernatural head of Hera.
In all the rooms, are panels with loads of information for the visitors. It is a very interesting museum that gives a deep cultural imprint on an island like Kos that has much to say and much to tell through what our ancestors left us
