1) Eurostat surveys 2001 and 2003, if not otherwise indicated
2) Details cf page
3) The number given here represents solely the State Archæological and Byzantine Museums, which were in operation in 2002.
4) In the category “Archæological Museums” belong all the museums holding a) collections of prehistoric and classical antiquities (Archæological Museums ) and b) Byzantine collections (Byzantine Mseums). Regarding the other categories of State Museums, see foot-note no 11.
5) In principle, all the Archaeological Museums operate on a permanent basis; there are, however, few museums that remain closed for long period of time due to extensive works of refurbishment or structural problems in their building (e.g. Museum of Thasos, of Philippoi). We also note that in 2002-2003, nine archaeological museums closed temporarily, for longer or shorter periods of time (National Archaeological Museum, Museums of Delphi, Olympia, Volos, Ioannina, Thessaloniki, Kerameikos, Nafplion, Lemnos) for refurbishment, extensions, redisplay which have to be completed by June 2004.All the Byzantine Museums and Collections operate on a permanent basis, except the Prosphorion Tower at Ouranoupoli of Chalkidiki, and the Collection of Icons and Relics at Pyrgos (Thera), which are open only during
6) 1.943.549 + 2.116.401 ( 13 for Museums located within Archaeological sites)
7) 789.191 + 318.522 ( 12 for Museums located within Archaeological sites)
8) The free admissions are not counted in the major archaeological site & museum of Acropolis; therefore, it is not possible to estimate the total number of free admissions in the Archaeological Museums of Greece, as Acropolis is a very important museum to be disregarded in the final gathering of the data. Thus, you must take into account that the number of free admissions, as presented in this questionnaire, does not provide the whole picture.
9) provisional or estimated statistical information
10) This number corresponds to the number of all tickets (full, reduced and free admission), issued in 86 Archaeological & Byzantine Museums in 2002. The data for 13 major Archaeological Museums and Byzantine Collections located within archaeological sites and monuments (the Acropolis Museum, the Museum of Ancient Agora, of Vravrona, of Eleusina, of Kerameikos, of Ancient Corinth, of Ancient Nemea, of Delos, of Vergina and Epidaurus, Byzantine Collection in the Castle of Corfu, Byzantine Collection in the Osios Loukas Monastery, Mystras Museum), are counted separately. This means that the number reflects the number of visitors visited the sites and possibly also the museums located within them. The number of visitors for 5 Byzantine Museums, where the admission is free, cannot be estimated with certainty, for these museums are not included in the Lists of the Archaeological Receipts Fund.
11) This number does not take into account the free admissions in museums located in archaeological sites. Therefore, it cannot be but an estimate of the total % of free admissions.
12) The structure of the Regional Services is such that it does not allow a straightforward account of the number of professionals, by category of occupation and specialization, for the scientific staff is entrusted both with field (archaeological excavation) and museum work.
13) According to the data collected for the year 2000.
14) If we exclude the eight (8) museums operating as separate Regional Units/Services, then the administrative structure of all other museums is the one of the Regional Services they belong to.
15) The web sites of the Greek Archaeological & Byzantine Museums are presented and managed through the main server of the Hellenic Ministry of Culture “OΔΥΣΣΕΑΣ» (www.culture.gr).
16) People with disabilities.
17) The museum definition suggested by the Working Group is a more general one, but still essentially in agreement with the respective provisions of the Greek Law, according to which, a museum is defined as “a service or an organization of non-profit character , with or without legal personality, which acquires, accepts, safeguards, conserves, records, documents, researches, interprets and primarily exhibits and promotes to the public collections of archaeological, artistic, ethnological or other material evidence of people and their environment, for purposes of study, education and enjoyment. As museums may also be considered services or organizations with similar objectives and functions, such as open-air museums”
18) The number given here represents solely the State Archeological Museums and Collections and includes 25 museums which were temporarily closed during 2005, due to works of extension, refurbishment etc.
19) Of which 147 were open 200 days and more in 2005
20) Total number of visits to 105 State Archaeological Museums & Collections, out of 151 in operation in 2005
21) Number of free admissions to 105 State Archaeological Museums & Collections, out of 151 in operation during 2005. Please note that free admissions are not counted at the major archaeological site & museum of the Acropolis, which is a very important museum to be disregarded in the final gathering of data; so the number of free admissions presented here, cannot be but an estimate.
22) With the exception of 8 museums which operate independently from the Ephorates of Antiquities, all other Archaeological Museums make use of the electronic facilities of the Ephorates they belong to.
