Designed by renowned architect Michalis Souvatzidis, the building reflects the gentle contours of Boeotia’s Mediterranean terrain and integrates seamlessly with the site.
Originally opened in 2007, the museum was later restored and thoughtfully extended. The new wing connects fluidly with the existing structure, creating 2,692 square meters of space, half of which consists of semi-open areas. Ancient artifacts uncovered during construction were carefully preserved and incorporated into the exhibition.
Distinctive pyramid-shaped skylights featuring 100 square meters of OKALUX guide the strong Mediterranean sunlight softly into the interior. Integrated capillary inserts within the insulating glass direct and evenly diffuse the light, creating a calm and pleasant atmosphere. The design subtly echoes the building’s geometry, showcasing the harmony between technical precision and architectural sensitivity.
