The Distomo Archaeological Collection is a museum in Distomo, in Boeotia, Central Greece. The museum, noted for its pottery collection, was established in 1994 and is supervised by the Tenth Ephorate of Prehistoric and Classical Antiquities.

History

The idea of a museum began in 1987 when the local council donated an old stone primary school erected in 1903 to the Greek Ministry of Culture, which began renovating and restoring the building. [1][2]

Collection

The museums contain a notable pottery collection from Medeon and Antikyra. It has a number of vases unearthed ancient Medeon.[3] The vases from Antikyra date between the 8th and 2nd centuries BC. One of the notable artifacts is a clay sima. It was discovered in a building in Antikyra and is dated to the 4th century BC.[3]
