Visit the small museum at Kerameikos to see the originals of some pieces that are shown in replica around the historical site: delicate grave stelae (grave markers), for example, and a great marble bull. It also has some especially finely painted pottery from the 5th century BC; outside, don't miss the lifelike stone mountain dog.
