Museum sights in Thasos

    Archaeological Museum

    Thasos' archaeological museum, next to the ancient agora at the Old Harbour, caused a stir when it reopened after a lengthy hiatus. Moreover, it keeps expanding, with the most recent new additions being Neolithic utensils and other finds from a mysterious tomb in central Thasos. Exhibitions from the classic period spotlight Theagenes, an Olympic champion of the 5th century BC. However, the 5m-tall 6th-century BC kouros carrying a ram looms largest.
