It houses many important early Geometric art pieces that date as far back as 860 BC.

In 1863, archaeologists first started housing pottery and other artifacts found in the dig site in a small, makeshift outpost.

It was an exhibit for the larger German Archaeological Institute until the official Museum was built in 1937, by H. Johannes.

It is a small, open-air museum with only four rooms on a single floor, but it houses many important funerary works as well as larger sculptures.

As such, many of the sculptures exhibited here are urns, lekythoi, grave reliefs, stelae, in addition to jewelry, etc.
