    This is an archaeological museum housing finds from Delphi dating from the Mycenaean period to the early Byzantine.
    The 1st picture is of the twins, the Kouroi of Delphi, known as Cleobis and Boron, crafted at Argos around the end of the 6th century BCE.
    The 2nd picture is the Sphinx of Naxos. It originally sat upon a column. It is far larger than I anticipated.
    The 3rd picture is a bronze votive shield dating to the 7th or 8th century BCE.
    The 4th picture is a classic period Greek urn. The 5th picture is of a portion of the pediment decoration of one of the treasuries to show the exquisite carving.
    The last is a picture of a model showing what the site probably looked like.
