You will find the exhibition “Mykonos and the sea” on the ground floor, where the well of pirate Mermelechas is also located. It was discovered during maintenance works in 1977. A collection of Neocycladic stone sculptures from old houses and churches and an old funerary plaque known as the Kore of Mykonos constitute important exhibits.
