Byzantine Museum of Argolis (BYMA)
The Byzantine Museum of Argolis is housed in the west and southwest wing of the Kapodistrias Barracks in Argos. The barracks compound, a listed historic building, is situated in a central location in the city, very close to the neoclassical building of the Municipal Market and the Archaeological Museum of Argos.
The main purpose of the Museum is to showcase rep- resentative aspects of Argolis from the 4th century AD to later years through exhibits which were unknown to the general public, and also to form a cultural hub in Argos and the wider region. The exhibits, mainly pottery and sculpture, as well as coins, mosaics, wall paintings and a variety of smaller arte- facts, come primarily from rescue excavations conducted by the Greek Archaeological Service across the town of Argos. Simultaneously, finds recovered from other areas of Argolis are presented, such as Nauplion, Andritsa, Kefalari, Chonikas, Plataniti, Merbakas, Tiryns, Ligourio, Tracheia, Ermionis and the islands of the Argolic Gulf. The gallery space occupies the entire upper floor of the west wing of the complex and the permanent exhibi- tion is divided into four main unities.
