The Epigraphical Museum is unique in Greece and the largest of its kind in the world. It safeguards 13,510, mostly Greek, inscriptions, which cover the period from early historical times to the Late Roman period, primarily in Greece.

Four of its rooms are accessible to visitors, while the rest is reserved for researchers. A full photographic archive of the collection is being assembled for future visitors.

This ‘library of stones’ houses an important collection of Greek inscriptions detailing official records, including lists of war dead, tribute lists showing annual payments by Athens’ allies, and the decree ordering the evacuation of Athens before the 480 BC Persian invasion.
