Archaeological Museum of Samothrace
Αρχαιολογικό Μουσείο Σαμοθράκης
Small, well arranged and right at the entrance to the sanctuary, so see it first and the ruins will make sense. It holds the architectural sculpture from the Hieron and the Propylon, inscriptions recording initiates by name, grave goods from the city of Samothrace, and a plaster cast of the Winged Victory set up roughly as the original stood, on the prow of a ship. Opening hours follow the ministry's seasonal pattern and the site and museum are usually ticketed together — check the day's hours before driving over.
