Its collections' total some 2000 objects, mainly from Greece, Egypt and Cyprus. These collections now form a world-renowned research resource.

It contains artefacts from all episodes of the region's antiquity, from the Predynastic and Neolithic through to the Roman times.

Normal opening times are weekdays, 9 am to 4.30 pm.
