Archaeological Museum
This fine museum is two buildings at the south end of the harbor, near the post office. The newest building houses sculpture -- the island's best sculptors traveled all over the Hellenistic world to create their art. The most remarkable work is a kouros (statue of a boy), which stands 5m (16 ft.) tall. The large and varied collection of bronze votives found at the Heraion is also impressive.
