The Rest of the Archeological Museum

After the zoo pictures from the Archeological Museum, these pictures are going to seem like a bore. But, I figured that you might like to see some of the amazing statues, pediments, and various objects that have uncovered in Olympia. The details and magnitude of many of these objects are awe-inspiring.

Statue of Nike

East Pediment from Temple of Zeus

West Pediment from the Temple of Zeus


Hermes with young Dionysos


One of Hercules' 12 Trials
(Holding the sky with help from Athena for Atlas to go get him golden apples)
Various other images
