Archaeological Museum of Chora
The Archaeological Museum of Chora is a museum in Chora, Messenia, in southern Greece, whose collections constitute a panorama of the Mycenaean civilization, an "entrance gate" to the world of the Bronze Age and the Mycenaean period. The museum was founded in 1969 by the Greek Archaeological Service under the auspices of the Ephorate of Antiquities of Olympia. At the time, the latter included in its jurisdiction the larger part of Messenia.
The museum was built to shelter and exhibit finds from the excavations of Carl Blegen at the Palace of Nestor in Epano Englianos, as well as those of Spyridon Marinatos in the regions of Pylia and Trifylia. It is for this reason that the busts of both archaeologists welcome visitors at the staircase leading to the museum's entrance. As a kind of preamble to the exhibition, on either side of the entrance stand huge burial pithoi of the Middle Helladic period, from the tumuli of Kokorakou, Peristeria, and Agios Ioannis, Papoulia, which include the grave goods from the pit, chamber and tholos tombs that are scattered all over the land of Messenia.〔Davis, J., A guide to the Palace of Nestor, Mycenaean Sites in its Environs and the Museum of Hora, ASCSA 2001.〕
The building has two storeys: the elevated ground floor, which constitutes the exhibition space, and the basins, which are used as storage for the archaeological material and as a study area. The ground floor is divided in three consecutive galleries as well as a vestibule that is used as a cloakroom, museum shop and ticket office. The museum holds finds from the excavations of the palace at Epano Englianos, the tholos tombs of the Englianos area, and other nearby archaeological sites such as the extensive cemetery of Volimidia, Routsi Myrsinohoriou, Peristeria, Voroulia Traganas, and Chora. Most of the finds are grouped according to the location where they were found and are exhibited in wooden-framed cases, which are either standing along the walls or situated in the centre of the rooms, like tables. Some particularly large items, such as the pithoi and amphorae, stand free on specially made wooden bases placed close to the walls. The rooms receive natural light from a clerestory under the ceiling. Additional electric bulbs supplement lights on the dark days and hours.

In the first room of the Museum are exhibited mainly finds from the excavations of Spyridon Marinatos in Pylia and Trifylia. Sites such as Volimidia, Peristeria, Routsi and Tragana are represented in this room.〔For a collective presentation of the finds of these excavations see Marinatos, Sp., Anaskafai Messenias 1952-1966, ed. Sp. Iakovides, Athens 2014 (in Geek).〕 Cases 1, 2, 4, 6, 7 and 8 display mainly finds from the extensive cemetery at Volimidia, dated in the Late Helladic I-IIIB periods, better known as Mycenaean period (1550–1200 BC).
