Archaeological Museum of Pylos
The Archaeological Museum of Pylos was built in 1956 with the donation of the dentist Christos Antonopoulos; this is why it is also known as Antonopouleio. The initial aim of the museum was to house the rich collection of the French philhellene Rene Puaux, which consisted of documents, prints and memorabilia of the Struggle, which were finally exhibited in Tsiklitira House in Pylos.
