Delphi Archaeological Museum

Located at the base of the ruins is the Delphi Archaeological Museum which houses artifacts that were found at Delphi. The exhibit primarily consists of offerings to the Oracle of Delphi discovered at the site and architectural parts of various buildings.

The museum’s 14 rooms are generally arranged chronologically. Collections include the Treasury of Sifnos, the Treasury of Athens, Hellenistic art sculptures, and Pediments of the Temple of Apollo.

Highlights to see include the Charioteer, one the most famous statues in the exhibit. Also known as the "rein-holder," it was part of a larger exhibit, including horses and chariot, to commemorate a chariot race win in 474 BC. Portions of the horses were found with the charioteer.
