Lonely Planet review for Archaeological Museum
Here you can see a fragment of the 4th-century Parian Chronicle, listing the most outstanding artistic achievements of ancient Greece. Discovered in the 17th century, most of it ended up in the Ashmolean Museum in Oxford. Typically, some of the most exquisite pieces are only plaster casts - the originals having long since been 'displaced' to museums abroad.
