Visiting the Site and Museum
The site of Corinth is administered by the 37th Ephoreia of the Greek Archaeological Service. The museum is located within the archaeological site and houses the catalogued finds from the American Excavations. A selection of these are on display in two display halls and a large courtyard. The exhibition consists of sculpture, ceramics, and minor objects of geometric through medieval date deriving from excavations in and around Corinth. With funding from the Third European Union package, the Ephoreia, in collaboration with the School, is preparing two new exhibit rooms. The Asklepieion room has been renovated and will now display in addition to the terracottas from the sanctuary, the gold guilded marble small scale statue of Asklepius from the School’s recent excavations at Panayia Field. A Prehistoric Room, currently organized, will exhibit neolithic and bronze age material culture from the School’s excavations on the main site, from C. W. Blegen’s excavations at Korakou and Zygouries, and material originating from Athikia. Both rooms are not open to the public yet.
