Scope
Finds from the sanctuary of Apollo and its surroundings.
History of the collection
Built to receive the finds of the French School's Grande Fouille from 1892, an excavation that required the relocation of the village of Kastri from on top of the sanctuary.
Collection notes
The Charioteer of about 470 BCE is one of very few large Greek bronzes to survive, because it was buried by a rockfall. It is a fragment of a larger group including a chariot and horses.
The Delphic hymns, inscribed on stone with musical notation above the text, are the principal surviving evidence for ancient Greek music as sound rather than theory.
