The museum has two buildings: the main one which you can access with the Museum Card and another remote one where you have to pay €5 for a guided tour. When I arrived at the main museum, a family was going out with the woman from the museum to take my guided tour and they invited me to join them. It was a very pleasant experience, the house to visit is a typical home of a middle peasant from the 19th century.

We were there on a Sunday at 12 o’clock, everything was closed, I can’t say anything. Maybe we need to make arrangements in advance?

Argos Theater

The ancient Argos Theater was built in 320 BC. and is located in Argos, Greece against Larissa Hill. Nearby from this site is Agora, Roman Odeon, and the Baths of Argos. The theater is one of the largest architectural developments in Greece and was renovated in ca 120 AD.

The Hellenistic theater at Argos is cut into the hillside of the Larisa, with 90 steps up a steep incline, forming a narrow rectilinear cavea. Among the largest theaters in Greece, it held about 20,000 spectators and is divided by two landings into three horizontal sections. Staircases further divide the cavea into four cunei, corresponding to the tribes of Argos A high wall was erected to prevent unauthorized access into the theatron and may have helped the acoustics, but it is said the sound quality is still very good today.

Around 120 CE, both theaters were renovated in the Roman style.
