A short walk from the Epidaurus theatre is the Archaeological Museum of Epidaurus.
The museum, noted for its reconstructions of temples and its columns and inscriptions, was established in 1902 and opened in 1909 to display artifacts unearthed in the ancient site of Epidaurus in the surrounding area.
Inside, the exhibitions are split between two halls, displaying artefacts discovered during archaeological excavations dating back from the Archaic to the Roman eras (700 BC - 324 AD). The displays include items from the Asclepius cult such as medical tools, and architectural fragments from significant buildings (like the Temple of Asclepius, the Temple of Artemis, and the Tholos).
Next stop is Nafplio.
